According to these documents, Les Wexner only comes up twice, in the context of two surface-level questions that aren't pursued. Interesting. What a legendary cover-up of the human-trafficking industry this case has been.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoI thought Les Wexner was the sucker who let the fake investment advisor control his portfolio, meaning Epstein, thereby thinking he had a managed professional making investments, when in reality he was being drained gradually of huge amounts of money. (Wexner was a billionaire from mall store empires, so may plausibly not have paid much attention to what his investment firm (Epstein) did?)
- pphysch 4y agoThat's an extraordinary misrepresentation of one of the most powerful figures in the female beauty industry during its heyday in the 1980s-2000s, which is tightly linked with the sex and trafficking industries.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoIt's not MY representation, but what was in documentaries on netflix etc . Good point, though, I do agree it's awfully conspicuous.
- pphysch 4y agoJeffery Epstein: Filthy Rich is one of the most surreal examples of narrative management I've ever seen. It suggests that Epstein singlehandedly had limited sexual encounters with teenage girls, and basically no one else was involved. The producers omit even the role of Ghislane Maxwell, who was later convicted for her role. Les Wexner is dismissed as merely the victim of a homophobic conspiracy theory. It's surreal and I wouldn't trust it for a second to be an accurate portrayal of what Epstein was actually involved in. (FWIW it was based on the book of the same name by novelist James Patterson who lived in Palm Beach near Epstein)
- jjtheblunt 4y agoi don't think i've seen that one, though will look for it.
- pphysch 4y agoAh, that was the first result when I googled "Epstein doc" and I believe I watched it on Netflix.
