But Wexner was personally, professionally and financially tied to convicted sex offender Epstein for decades. Last year, Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of helping Epstein traffic teenage girls, described Wexner as once being the financier's "closest friend." Wexner says he cut ties with Epstein in 2007 and accused him of misappropriating $46 million.
The picture, which appears to have been taken by Epstein himself, was contained in the latest tranche of documents released by the Department of Justice, and adds to the growing pile of evidence showing that Musk had much deeper ties to Epstein than he's let on publicly. Based on the photo, other files, and previous reporting from Vanity Fair, the dinner - which was already public knowledge - took place on August 2, 2015, and was hosted by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.
Michael Ovitz, the cofounder of powerhouse Los Angeles talent agency Creative Artists Agency and a prolific tech investor, effusively praised Jeffrey Epstein and made arrangements to meet him at his New York home and off the coast of St. Barts, newly released files reveal. The disgraced financier invited Ovitz to his private Caribbean island in 2012 and said he knew Ovitz "well" in emails to a Microsoft executive and his publicist, Peggy Siegal.
Epstein claimed within one email he helped Gates get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls and illicit trysts, with married women. The email also references Gates asking Epstein to provide Adderall for bridge tournaments. One draft email alleges that Gates tearfully asked Epstein to delete messages referencing an STD, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and to delete explicit personal details about his penis.
