Les Wexner: Billionaire Tycoon Claims Jeffrey Epstein 'Duped' Him

  • Billionaire retail tycoon Les Wexner told US lawmakers he was "naive, foolish, and gullible" for trusting Jeffrey Epstein.
  • Wexner described Epstein as a "con man" who deceived him for years, insisting he "did nothing wrong."
  • He denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes or involvement in abuse, despite being mentioned over 1,000 times in Justice Department records.
  • Wexner founded The Limited in 1963, building L Brands into a global retail powerhouse with brands like Victoria’s Secret.
  • He granted Epstein power of attorney in 1991, allowing him to manage finances, but cut ties in 2007 after discovering Epstein had stolen from him.
