Wexner Deposed in Epstein Probe Amid Pleading the Fifth Fears
Billionaire Les Wexner, founder of the L Brands retail empire, has informed members of Congress that he was “duped by a world-class con man” in his former financial adviser, Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner denies any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes or participation in the abuse of girls and young women, asserting he was “naïve, foolish, and gullible” to trust him. Despite the extensive mention of his name in Epstein’s documents, Wexner maintains he has done nothing wrong and is eager to “set the record straight” regarding their decades-long association. The relationship between Wexner and Epstein soured when Wexner discovered Epstein had stolen “vast sums” from him and his family.
