| Updated Aug 08, 2019, 11:10 AM The billionaire owner of Victoria’s Secret said Wednesday accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein stole huge amounts of money from him and his family.
The claim Les Wexner, the founder and CEO of the Columbus-based L Brands fashion retailer, had been bamboozled by the jet-setting financier he said in a letter sent to members of the Wexner Foundation, his charity.
He did not say whether he had reported any of this financial malfeasance to the police.
Wexner claimed he discovered in 2007 that Epstein, who managed vast sums of money for Wexner, had mishandled at least $46 million in charitable investments, though the total sum of was reportedly even higher. Wexner would only say some of the funds Epstein had taken were actually returned.
“This was, frankly, a tremendous shock, even though it clearly pales in comparison to the unthinkable allegations against him now,†Wexner wrote today. “All of that money — every dollar of it — was originally Wexner family money.â€
