Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
When we talk about Jeffrey Epstein and the way he
was able to maneuver and snake his way through the
system for so long, there was one person especially who
really helped him out along the way, and that person
is none other than Less Wexner. Now, this is a
man who was extremely rich, extremely powerful, and for whatever reason,
decided that he's going to give the keys of the
kingdom to Jeffrey Epstein. That sounds like a great idea.
Then later on down the road, Wexner tries to pitch
to everybody that Jeffrey Epstein stole thirty seven million dollars
from him. I said at the time, and I still
believe that that was a baked in defense mechanism for
the both of them. If Epstein ever got busted, then
Wexner would just say, look, Epstein stole this money from me,
and I have nothing to do with him. I'm a
victim too, And that was all part of the plan.
Because if you don't think people like this have failsafes,
you have not been paying attention. Today's article is from
Cincinnati dot Com headlined what we learned about Les Wexner
and Jeffrey Epstein in document release. Nothing we didn't know
already and anybody telling you any different, Well, there, b Essen.
All of these relationships that people are all of a
sudden outraged by have been relationships that are well known
that Jeffrey Epstein fostered over the years. That's why the
whole thing with the Senate has me shaking my head,
as if we needed to have this document dump come
out for us to know what was going on. Today's
article is authored by Mark Williams. The thousands of pages
of court documents released over the past week from a
New York lawsuit revealed no fresh allegations about the relationship
between New Albany billionaire and retail magnate Les Wexner and
his ties to accuse sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein accused, No convicted, Okay,
convicted sexual abuser is the legacy media? Okay, did they
fall and collectively hit their because the nonsense that they
spew about Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies is pretty sickening,
But they do serve as a reminder of just how
tight Epstein, Wexner's one time financial manager, and Wexner the
driving force behind well known brands such as Victoria's Secret,
Abercrombie and Fitch, and Bath and Bodyworks were at one time.
We didn't need those court documents to tell us. We
all knew Epstein was running around telling everybody he could
get them jobs at Victoria's Secret, that he was the
man over there, and then less Wexner for his part,
he gave Jeffrey Epstein power of attorney, so Epstein had
control over his whole Lass fortune. Ask yourself, why, Ask
yourself why a guy like Les Wexner, supposedly one of
the smartest men in the room, Why are they going
to give the keys to Jeffrey Epstein's bitch ass. Wexter's
name came up more than forty five times in a
twenty fifteen civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts, who accused
Epstein and partner Glenn Maxwell of directing her sexual involvement
with prominent men. The case was settled in twenty seventeen.
Last month, US District Judge Loretta Presca of the Southern
District of New York ordered the list of names and
related documents to be released because there was no longer
a need for them to remain hidden. And this was
the final result of the order that PRESCA passed a
few years ago. And that order stated that all of
this documentation was going to be unsealed. So this is
the climax, if you will, of that order. None of
those who were mentioned in the documents have been charged
with any crime. Now read that again and tell me
that's not fucked up. How is it that all these
people who are mentioned in these documents from Sarah kelln
on and nobody's been charged with a crime. Their inclusion
on the list only constitutes a possible association as a witness, victim, plaintiff,
or having business or social contact with Epstein and or Maxwell,
who is serving twenty years in federal prison for her conviction.
And there was no list. This is an a list.
This is about receipts, and what this dump did is
provide those receipts. So as far as lists or anything
like that, that was never going to occur. Like I
told you before, this all happened just like the other dumps.
We were aware of all these names. All it does
is fill in the blank spaces. Authority say Epstein killed
himself in August twenty nineteen, while awaiting trial on charges
that he sexually exploited and abused dozens of underage girls
between two thousand and two and two thousand and five.
He had already been previously convicted of similar crimes. The
most salacious allegation about Wexner that came out in the
document when Roberts, after being prompted in a deposition, testified
that she had sex multiple times with Wexner, a claim
that Wexner has strongly denied. Even an attorney who represented
Roberts at one time has said he had doubts about
the claim about Wexner and some of the others that
Roberts claimed she was forced to have sex with. So
this article, whoever this author is, is just another worm
who has no idea what they're talking about. Just another
idiot that's probably getting money from Less Wexner one way
or the other. Because we all know that Les Wexner
runs Ohio like it's his own little fiefdom. Who is
Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein's social circle was filled with the rich
and the famous, including former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton,
as well as Prince Andrew of England. Epstein was a
new York City financial manager Pedophile when he met Wexner
in the nineteen eighties. Their relationship was so tight that
Wexner granted Epstein power of attorney that gave Epstein wide
latitude to act on Wexner's behalf, and at one point,
Wexner was Epstein's only known client. Yeah, nothing to see here.
Virginia is a big old liar. This is just all coincidence.
I mean, how could anyone believe that, Like, how could
you believe that less Wexner had no idea what was
going on? Even if you don't believe Virginia put that
to the side, how could you believe that Wexner, who
was giving Epstein power of attorney, knew what Epstein was
up to seeing all these girls around, had the reports
coming in that Epstein was using Victoria's secret to lure
girls in, but Wexner had no idea what was going on. Huh. Look,
if you want to buy that, that's fine me, I'm
not buying it. In nineteen ninety eight, Epstein was identified
as president, along with Wexner, of the New Aubany Company
in Ohio business records. Epstein owned land in the New
Aubane development including a house on King George Drive Amidland
owned by A Wexner. Epstein owned the house from nineteen
ninety four until selling it for zero dollars to the
Wexners in December of two thousand and seven. Funny right
after he got nailed. Huh, right after things started to
fall apart. All part of that baked in scheme to
protect Wexner, That's my speculation. Wexner and Epstein also shared
an interest in a Manhattan mansion bought in nineteen eighty
nine for thirteen zeno point two million dollars at the time,
a record price for a Manhattan town home by a
corporation controlled by Wexner and Epstein, according to The New
York Times. Nine years later, Wexner transferred his interest in
the property to Epstein for twenty million dollars. The Times reported, Yeah,
we've heard one dollar, so I don't know if I
believe the Times over the other sources that we've heard
as far as survivors and people close to what happened.
Either way, the property was transferred to Epstein eventually. Epstein
had lived in the mansion for several years, though Wexner
never lived there. Epstein was a longtime trustee of the
Wexner Foundation, focused on Jewish education and leadership, though the
foundation says he participated in name only and was not
involved in any of the day to day activities. Oh,
I'm sure in name only, because that's the kind of
guy that Jeffrey Epstein was, right in name only. Who
do they think they're kidding? Who is Les Wexner? Wexner
is Ohio's richest person, with an estimated wealth of six
billion according to Forbes. Wexner started the Limited in nineteen
sixty three with five thousand dollars on loan from his aunt,
beginning a retail vampire that would one day include Victoria's Secret,
Bath and Body Works, Abercrombie and Fitch, and other brands.
He opened the first Limited store in Kingsdale shopping Center
in Upper Arlington. He retired in twenty twenty as CEO
and president of Well Brands, which at the time consisted
of Victoria's Secret and Bath and body Works. The following year,
he and his wife, Abigail Wexner stepped down from the
corporate board and the company split into two companies. Yeah,
no shit, he stepped down. He was forced to step
down because of all of the attention to his relationship
with Epstein, that's the only reason he stepped down. His
decision to resign came after he had received criticism for
his ties to Epstein and years of sliding sales at
Victoria's Secret during the met To era as customers offended
by the retailers hyper sexual emphasis moved on to other brands.
So basically, what this author would have you believe is
that there's nothing to see here, that Wexner was just
a guy that was hanging out with Epstein and everything
else is just a bunch of talk. Well, mister author,
here's an idea. Do your homework, please. Beyond his retail history,
Wexner has left his mark across Columbus and many of
its buildings, including one hundred million dollar donation to Ohio
State in twenty ten, a one hundred and sixty three
million dollar gift to the Columbus Foundation, and tens of
millions of dollars to other nonprofits and charities. Wexner has
said repeatedly that he was not aware of Epstein's activities.
Oh well, in that case, let's just believe them. Huh.
I think I'll believe Virginia instead, how about that what
happened between Wexner and Epstein. In February two thousand and eight,
Wexner announced he was replacing Epstein as his investment manager.
The move followed Epstein's plea in Florida to charges of
soliciting sex from a minor. Epstein paid a settlement five
point five million in total to three of more than
two dozen teens who sued them. By two thousand and seven,
as allegations of sexual misconduct were emerging against Epstein in Florida,
it was agreed that he should step back from managing
the Wexner family finances. Wexner said in a letter in
twenty nineteen to the Wexner Foundation, who believes that, Sure,
that's a nice cover story, but nobody buys it, at
least I don't. Maybe other people do, but I certainly
don't buy it. And I think that the whole entire
thing was baked in as protection. So if this ever
happened and Epstein was exposed, well, Captain Les Wexner over here,
could you know? Just plead ignorance. I had no idea
what was going on, and in fact he was stealing
from me in that process. We discovered that he misappropriated
vast sums of money from me and my family, Wexner said.
Wexner accused Epstein of stealing tens of millions of dollars
from the family, and forty seven million was a returned
and to the family to a new foundation set up
by Abigail Wexner in December two thousand and seven. The
foundation was dissolved three years later. Sounds like money laundering
to me. Sounds like a whole lot of that. But
what do I know? Wexner has said he didn't know
anything about Epstein's alleged sex activities. I would have never
guessed that a person I employed more than a decade
ago could have caused so much pain to so many people.
My heart goes out to each and every person who
has been hurt. Wexner sat in an email in twenty
nineteen to l Brands, I severed all ties with mister
Epstein nearly twelve years ago. I would not have continued
to work with any individual capable of such egregious, sickening
behavior as was reported about him. As you can imagine,
this past week, I have searched my soul, reflected and
regretted that my path ever crossed his, Well, you'd have
to have a soul for you to reflect on it, sir,
And you might call it reflection, but the rest of
us call it excuse making. So there's no doubt that
Less Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein were super tight, and there's
certainly no doubt that he's been accused by Virginia Roberts.
But like the rest of Epstein's fellow travelers, looks like
Les Wexner is never gonna be held to account. All right, folks,
that's gonna do it for this one. All the information
