Calls For A Real Investigation Into The Wexner–Epstein Alliance Continue To Grow (Part 1) (2/18/26)

Questions surrounding Les Wexner have intensified as scrutiny continues over the depth and duration of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner granted Epstein sweeping financial authority in the 1990s, including power of attorney over vast portions of his fortune—an arrangement that remains one of the most extraordinary aspects of the Epstein saga. Critics argue that such access raises serious concerns about oversight, judgment, and what Wexner may have known about Epstein’s conduct during the years he managed Wexner’s assets and represented himself publicly as a financial adviser to billionaires. Although Wexner has maintained that Epstein misappropriated funds and betrayed his trust, skeptics question how Epstein was able to operate for so long within Wexner’s inner circle without deeper awareness or warning signs.

The renewed attention stems not only from Epstein’s crimes but from broader questions about institutional complicity and elite insulation. Wexner was widely regarded as Epstein’s most important early patron, providing legitimacy that helped Epstein embed himself in powerful social and financial networks. Civil lawsuits, document releases, and investigative reporting have kept focus on why Wexner severed ties only after public scandal erupted and whether internal safeguards failed. While Wexner has publicly expressed regret and distanced himself from Epstein following the financier’s arrest, the scale of Epstein’s access to his finances and properties continues to fuel demands for fuller transparency about what occurred during their decades-long association.
