Leslie Wexner, the billionaire CEO behind Victoria’s Secret and other big brands, says Jeffrey Epstein misappropriated many millions of his dollars. Wexner made that accusation in a letter to his foundation, and it’s so far the most detailed account he’s given about his relationship with Epstein. Epstein served as Wexner’s financial advisor for 20 years. He’s now facing federal charges on sex trafficking girls as young as 14. It’s the latest twist in a case that’s been full of them, and more could be on the way.
