1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,879 When we talk about Jeffrey Epstein and the way he 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,960 was able to maneuver and snake his way through the 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,519 system for so long, there was one person especially who 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,600 really helped him out along the way, and that person 6 00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:20,839 is none other than Less Wexner. Now, this is a 7 00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:25,960 man who was extremely rich, extremely powerful, and for whatever reason, 8 00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:27,760 decided that he's going to give the keys of the 9 00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:31,559 kingdom to Jeffrey Epstein. That sounds like a great idea. 10 00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:34,679 Then later on down the road, Wexner tries to pitch 11 00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:38,399 to everybody that Jeffrey Epstein stole thirty seven million dollars 12 00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:41,039 from him. I said at the time, and I still 13 00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:44,000 believe that that was a baked in defense mechanism for 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,840 the both of them. If Epstein ever got busted, then 15 00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:50,119 Wexner would just say, look, Epstein stole this money from me, 16 00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:52,399 and I have nothing to do with him. I'm a 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,119 victim too, And that was all part of the plan. 18 00:00:55,479 --> 00:00:57,880 Because if you don't think people like this have failsafes, 19 00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:01,479 you have not been paying attention. Today's article is from 20 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,239 Cincinnati dot Com headlined what we learned about Les Wexner 21 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,920 and Jeffrey Epstein in document release. Nothing we didn't know 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,359 already and anybody telling you any different, Well, there, b Essen. 23 00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:16,359 All of these relationships that people are all of a 24 00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:19,959 sudden outraged by have been relationships that are well known 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,760 that Jeffrey Epstein fostered over the years. That's why the 26 00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:26,599 whole thing with the Senate has me shaking my head, 27 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,400 as if we needed to have this document dump come 28 00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:33,159 out for us to know what was going on. Today's 29 00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:37,319 article is authored by Mark Williams. The thousands of pages 30 00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:40,040 of court documents released over the past week from a 31 00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:44,079 New York lawsuit revealed no fresh allegations about the relationship 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,400 between New Albany billionaire and retail magnate Les Wexner and 33 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,959 his ties to accuse sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein accused, No convicted, Okay, 34 00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:58,680 convicted sexual abuser is the legacy media? Okay, did they 35 00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:02,439 fall and collectively hit their because the nonsense that they 36 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,239 spew about Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies is pretty sickening, 37 00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,039 But they do serve as a reminder of just how 38 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,319 tight Epstein, Wexner's one time financial manager, and Wexner the 39 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,800 driving force behind well known brands such as Victoria's Secret, 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,759 Abercrombie and Fitch, and Bath and Bodyworks were at one time. 41 00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:23,680 We didn't need those court documents to tell us. We 42 00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:27,159 all knew Epstein was running around telling everybody he could 43 00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:29,960 get them jobs at Victoria's Secret, that he was the 44 00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:32,840 man over there, and then less Wexner for his part, 45 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,599 he gave Jeffrey Epstein power of attorney, so Epstein had 46 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,319 control over his whole Lass fortune. Ask yourself, why, Ask 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,800 yourself why a guy like Les Wexner, supposedly one of 48 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,400 the smartest men in the room, Why are they going 49 00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:49,960 to give the keys to Jeffrey Epstein's bitch ass. Wexter's 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,199 name came up more than forty five times in a 51 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,240 twenty fifteen civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts, who accused 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,000 Epstein and partner Glenn Maxwell of directing her sexual involvement 53 00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:04,400 with prominent men. The case was settled in twenty seventeen. 54 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,560 Last month, US District Judge Loretta Presca of the Southern 55 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,039 District of New York ordered the list of names and 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,400 related documents to be released because there was no longer 57 00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:17,080 a need for them to remain hidden. And this was 58 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,080 the final result of the order that PRESCA passed a 59 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,280 few years ago. And that order stated that all of 60 00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:27,039 this documentation was going to be unsealed. So this is 61 00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:31,080 the climax, if you will, of that order. None of 62 00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:33,960 those who were mentioned in the documents have been charged 63 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,599 with any crime. Now read that again and tell me 64 00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,159 that's not fucked up. How is it that all these 65 00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:42,000 people who are mentioned in these documents from Sarah kelln 66 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,719 on and nobody's been charged with a crime. Their inclusion 67 00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:50,439 on the list only constitutes a possible association as a witness, victim, plaintiff, 68 00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:54,800 or having business or social contact with Epstein and or Maxwell, 69 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,080 who is serving twenty years in federal prison for her conviction. 70 00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:00,719 And there was no list. This is an a list. 71 00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:04,000 This is about receipts, and what this dump did is 72 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,360 provide those receipts. So as far as lists or anything 73 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,599 like that, that was never going to occur. Like I 74 00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:12,800 told you before, this all happened just like the other dumps. 75 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,000 We were aware of all these names. All it does 76 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,600 is fill in the blank spaces. Authority say Epstein killed 77 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,279 himself in August twenty nineteen, while awaiting trial on charges 78 00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:27,000 that he sexually exploited and abused dozens of underage girls 79 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,759 between two thousand and two and two thousand and five. 80 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,560 He had already been previously convicted of similar crimes. The 81 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,639 most salacious allegation about Wexner that came out in the 82 00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:42,040 document when Roberts, after being prompted in a deposition, testified 83 00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:45,480 that she had sex multiple times with Wexner, a claim 84 00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:49,240 that Wexner has strongly denied. Even an attorney who represented 85 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:52,519 Roberts at one time has said he had doubts about 86 00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:55,279 the claim about Wexner and some of the others that 87 00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:58,279 Roberts claimed she was forced to have sex with. So 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,319 this article, whoever this author is, is just another worm 89 00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:05,079 who has no idea what they're talking about. Just another 90 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,560 idiot that's probably getting money from Less Wexner one way 91 00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:11,199 or the other. Because we all know that Les Wexner 92 00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:16,040 runs Ohio like it's his own little fiefdom. Who is 93 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,519 Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein's social circle was filled with the rich 94 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,199 and the famous, including former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, 95 00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:27,120 as well as Prince Andrew of England. Epstein was a 96 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,720 new York City financial manager Pedophile when he met Wexner 97 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,879 in the nineteen eighties. Their relationship was so tight that 98 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,480 Wexner granted Epstein power of attorney that gave Epstein wide 99 00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:40,800 latitude to act on Wexner's behalf, and at one point, 100 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,079 Wexner was Epstein's only known client. Yeah, nothing to see here. 101 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,759 Virginia is a big old liar. This is just all coincidence. 102 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,199 I mean, how could anyone believe that, Like, how could 103 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,040 you believe that less Wexner had no idea what was 104 00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:59,120 going on? Even if you don't believe Virginia put that 105 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,160 to the side, how could you believe that Wexner, who 106 00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:04,879 was giving Epstein power of attorney, knew what Epstein was 107 00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:07,680 up to seeing all these girls around, had the reports 108 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,959 coming in that Epstein was using Victoria's secret to lure 109 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,959 girls in, but Wexner had no idea what was going on. Huh. Look, 110 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,480 if you want to buy that, that's fine me, I'm 111 00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:22,800 not buying it. In nineteen ninety eight, Epstein was identified 112 00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:26,040 as president, along with Wexner, of the New Aubany Company 113 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,360 in Ohio business records. Epstein owned land in the New 114 00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:33,720 Aubane development including a house on King George Drive Amidland 115 00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:37,480 owned by A Wexner. Epstein owned the house from nineteen 116 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,480 ninety four until selling it for zero dollars to the 117 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,360 Wexners in December of two thousand and seven. Funny right 118 00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:47,199 after he got nailed. Huh, right after things started to 119 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,240 fall apart. All part of that baked in scheme to 120 00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:56,040 protect Wexner, That's my speculation. Wexner and Epstein also shared 121 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,720 an interest in a Manhattan mansion bought in nineteen eighty 122 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,600 nine for thirteen zeno point two million dollars at the time, 123 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,079 a record price for a Manhattan town home by a 124 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,959 corporation controlled by Wexner and Epstein, according to The New 125 00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:12,959 York Times. Nine years later, Wexner transferred his interest in 126 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,519 the property to Epstein for twenty million dollars. The Times reported, Yeah, 127 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,120 we've heard one dollar, so I don't know if I 128 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,120 believe the Times over the other sources that we've heard 129 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:26,560 as far as survivors and people close to what happened. 130 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,560 Either way, the property was transferred to Epstein eventually. Epstein 131 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,600 had lived in the mansion for several years, though Wexner 132 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,079 never lived there. Epstein was a longtime trustee of the 133 00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:42,759 Wexner Foundation, focused on Jewish education and leadership, though the 134 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,920 foundation says he participated in name only and was not 135 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,959 involved in any of the day to day activities. Oh, 136 00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:51,360 I'm sure in name only, because that's the kind of 137 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,600 guy that Jeffrey Epstein was, right in name only. Who 138 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,839 do they think they're kidding? Who is Les Wexner? Wexner 139 00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:00,839 is Ohio's richest person, with an estimated wealth of six 140 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,160 billion according to Forbes. Wexner started the Limited in nineteen 141 00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:08,399 sixty three with five thousand dollars on loan from his aunt, 142 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,439 beginning a retail vampire that would one day include Victoria's Secret, 143 00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:16,279 Bath and Body Works, Abercrombie and Fitch, and other brands. 144 00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:20,000 He opened the first Limited store in Kingsdale shopping Center 145 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,800 in Upper Arlington. He retired in twenty twenty as CEO 146 00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:26,839 and president of Well Brands, which at the time consisted 147 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:30,600 of Victoria's Secret and Bath and body Works. The following year, 148 00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:33,360 he and his wife, Abigail Wexner stepped down from the 149 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,600 corporate board and the company split into two companies. Yeah, 150 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,399 no shit, he stepped down. He was forced to step 151 00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:43,600 down because of all of the attention to his relationship 152 00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:47,559 with Epstein, that's the only reason he stepped down. His 153 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,919 decision to resign came after he had received criticism for 154 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,840 his ties to Epstein and years of sliding sales at 155 00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:57,679 Victoria's Secret during the met To era as customers offended 156 00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:02,200 by the retailers hyper sexual emphasis moved on to other brands. 157 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,240 So basically, what this author would have you believe is 158 00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:07,840 that there's nothing to see here, that Wexner was just 159 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:10,399 a guy that was hanging out with Epstein and everything 160 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,399 else is just a bunch of talk. Well, mister author, 161 00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:18,600 here's an idea. Do your homework, please. Beyond his retail history, 162 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,080 Wexner has left his mark across Columbus and many of 163 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,080 its buildings, including one hundred million dollar donation to Ohio 164 00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,879 State in twenty ten, a one hundred and sixty three 165 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:32,200 million dollar gift to the Columbus Foundation, and tens of 166 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,200 millions of dollars to other nonprofits and charities. Wexner has 167 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,639 said repeatedly that he was not aware of Epstein's activities. 168 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:43,000 Oh well, in that case, let's just believe them. Huh. 169 00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:46,320 I think I'll believe Virginia instead, how about that what 170 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,559 happened between Wexner and Epstein. In February two thousand and eight, 171 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,559 Wexner announced he was replacing Epstein as his investment manager. 172 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,080 The move followed Epstein's plea in Florida to charges of 173 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,879 soliciting sex from a minor. Epstein paid a settlement five 174 00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:05,240 point five million in total to three of more than 175 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,440 two dozen teens who sued them. By two thousand and seven, 176 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,799 as allegations of sexual misconduct were emerging against Epstein in Florida, 177 00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:15,799 it was agreed that he should step back from managing 178 00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:19,320 the Wexner family finances. Wexner said in a letter in 179 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,200 twenty nineteen to the Wexner Foundation, who believes that, Sure, 180 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,720 that's a nice cover story, but nobody buys it, at 181 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:29,519 least I don't. Maybe other people do, but I certainly 182 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,840 don't buy it. And I think that the whole entire 183 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:34,960 thing was baked in as protection. So if this ever 184 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:40,240 happened and Epstein was exposed, well, Captain Les Wexner over here, 185 00:10:40,519 --> 00:10:43,320 could you know? Just plead ignorance. I had no idea 186 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:45,759 what was going on, and in fact he was stealing 187 00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:50,080 from me in that process. We discovered that he misappropriated 188 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:53,360 vast sums of money from me and my family, Wexner said. 189 00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:57,279 Wexner accused Epstein of stealing tens of millions of dollars 190 00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:00,000 from the family, and forty seven million was a returned 191 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,480 and to the family to a new foundation set up 192 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,759 by Abigail Wexner in December two thousand and seven. The 193 00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:09,360 foundation was dissolved three years later. Sounds like money laundering 194 00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,960 to me. Sounds like a whole lot of that. But 195 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600 what do I know? Wexner has said he didn't know 196 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,039 anything about Epstein's alleged sex activities. I would have never 197 00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,480 guessed that a person I employed more than a decade 198 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:23,600 ago could have caused so much pain to so many people. 199 00:11:23,919 --> 00:11:26,320 My heart goes out to each and every person who 200 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,200 has been hurt. Wexner sat in an email in twenty 201 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,559 nineteen to l Brands, I severed all ties with mister 202 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,720 Epstein nearly twelve years ago. I would not have continued 203 00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:39,759 to work with any individual capable of such egregious, sickening 204 00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:43,600 behavior as was reported about him. As you can imagine, 205 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,799 this past week, I have searched my soul, reflected and 206 00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:50,279 regretted that my path ever crossed his, Well, you'd have 207 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,600 to have a soul for you to reflect on it, sir, 208 00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:55,600 And you might call it reflection, but the rest of 209 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,840 us call it excuse making. So there's no doubt that 210 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,360 Less Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein were super tight, and there's 211 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,080 certainly no doubt that he's been accused by Virginia Roberts. 212 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,799 But like the rest of Epstein's fellow travelers, looks like 213 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,240 Les Wexner is never gonna be held to account. All right, folks, 214 00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:16,360 that's gonna do it for this one.
