Full Headline:

"Victoria's Secret billionaire Leslie Wexner accuses Epstein of misappropriating 'vast sums of money' from him"

Billionaire Leslie Wexner on Wednesday accused his former money manager Jeffrey Epstein of misappropriating millions of his fortune.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Wexner, the billionaire behind Victoria's Secret, issued a statement to members of the Wexner Foundation, alleging that more than $46 million of his family's fortune was uncovered after the L Brands CEO decided to cut ties with Epstein in 2007.

The Journal reported that Wexner began severing ties with Epstein after allegations emerged involving Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls.

“We discovered that he had misappropriated vast sums of money from me and my family,” Wexner told the foundation Wednesday, according to the Journal. “This was, frankly, a tremendous shock, even though it clearly pales in comparison to the unthinkable allegations against him now.”

“All of that money — every dollar of it — was originally Wexner family money,” he said, according to the Journal.

According to tax records reviewed by the Journal, Epstein reportedly transferred $46 million worth of investments to a Wexner charitable fund in January 2008. Wexner said the transfer was only a fraction of the funds Epstein allegedly "misappropriated."

Wexner's net worth is currently estimated to be $4.6 billion, according to Forbes.

Epstein pleaded not guilty last month to charges of sex trafficking. Federal prosecutors allege that Epstein was involved in a scheme spanning years to traffic and sexually abuse dozens of underage girls.

Epstein, who is in federal custody, faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

It is easy to steal other people’s money when you have videos of them with underage girls.

This demonstrates Mr. Epstein’s talent as a manipulator of a wide variety of people.

Misappropriated? What’s that? Is that what they call theft if it’s done by a rich, connected liberal?

1/10 of 1% of his net worth.

The world's tiniest violin.

Leslie Wexner has been closely associated with Mr.Epstein for years. How come it only now that Wexner notices his money is missing? Could Mr. Wexner also be implicated in child trafficating and prostitution?

Wexner is mobbed up and he had a weird, James Bond-esque SECRET ROOM secreted under his stairs crammed full of expensive surveillance equipment:

WHY..?

https://www.mintpressnews.com/mega-group-maxwells-mossad-spy-story-jeffrey-epstein-scandal/261172/

He lives in Columbus, Ohio.

A Columbus lawyer who was partner at a prestigious local firm had a beef with one of Wexner’s accountants. The guy is in the course of some biz, somehow gets terrified, runs to the front door of a nearby condo, almost certainly trying to run away from something:

Masked guy clad in all black in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY runs up to him, pounding away on the condo front door and SHOOTS HIM TWICE IN THE HEAD, and disappears.

Local cops flush the case:

“Our police investigation risked being LIBELOUS to a local millionaire.”

Yes, the Police Chief used THAT word.

....????

"Victoria's Secret billionaire Leslie Wexner accuses Epstein of misappropriating 'vast sums of money' from him"

Billionaire Leslie Wexner on Wednesday accused his former money manager Jeffrey Epstein of misappropriating millions of his fortune.

Let me get this straight, Leslie Wexner hires an ex-con to manage his money?

Victorias secret is that he’s an elderly guy named Leslie. Kinda like on the internnet where that hot 19 year old you’re chatting with is actually a trucker from Boise named Kevin.

This sounds like a total cover story to me. Wexner is so guilty.

Wexner hired Epstein as “his money manager” at a point well prior to Epstein’s conviction.

I say that under the assumption that we do know about ALL of them; I have my doubts.

Also, after the conviction was made public, Wexner officially disavowed Epstein.

But given they share a very rare and legally sensitive hobby, paired with the fact that the price Wexner asked of Epstein in return for selling him the largest private residence on all Manhattan Island was ONE DOLLAR, who here really BELIEVES they didn’t remain bosom buddies, though...?

No one.

Wexner is leveling these charges NOW for two reasons:

To attend to appearances and because of Wexner’s belief that this stuff just today does not materially worsen his best friend’s legal situation.

Why...?

1. Epstein’s legal goose is already maximally cooked

AND/OR

2. Epstein is scheduled for termination

The rest of the story:

That money was going to be used to set up a children's department of Victoria's Secret...

Do I really need a <j/k> tag?

I met wexner in the 1980s. He was a big client. Omg now I know why Jeffrey espsteins name sounded so familiar. He was wexners top financial guy who always called the office. Fortunately, my boss usually delt with Epstein.
