"In his statement, provided by his team, Wexner called himself naive, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. I completely and irrevocably cut ties with Epstein nearly twenty years ago when I learned that he was an abuser, a crook, and a liar, he said. To my enormous embarrassment and regret I, like many others, was duped by a world-class con man."
"Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping traffic teen girls for Epstein, refused to answer questions during her deposition last week. Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, said in a statement that she invoked her right to remain silent because of her ongoing legal fight against her conviction and claimed Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump."
"The fashion magnate hired Epstein in 1991 to manage his money. Wexner has insisted that he cut ties with Epstein in 2007, before Epstein pleaded guilty to Florida state-level prostitution charges in 2008, and claimed that Epstein misappropriated $46m of his assets. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2019 that Wexner was integral to Epstein's success in finance, with Epstein reportedly earning $200m from the deal."
