Les Wexner, the billionaire founder of L Brands, which includes Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, maintained a notably close and controversial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein from the late 1980s until 2007. Wexner granted Epstein extensive control over his financial affairs, including power of attorney, allowing Epstein to manage and make decisions regarding Wexner's assets. This unprecedented level of trust is perplexing, especially considering Epstein's lack of formal financial credentials. Their association extended beyond business; Epstein resided in properties owned by Wexner and was involved in personal aspects of Wexner's life.

Critics argue that Wexner's delegation of such significant authority to Epstein enabled the latter's illicit activities. Epstein reportedly misrepresented himself as a recruiter for Victoria's Secret models, leveraging his connection to Wexner to exploit young women. Despite allegations and warnings about Epstein's behavior, Wexner's response appeared delayed and insufficient. In 2019, Wexner acknowledged that Epstein had "misappropriated vast sums of money" from him, raising questions about his oversight and judgment. The depth of their relationship and Wexner's apparent inaction in the face of mounting evidence have led to scrutiny regarding his complicity or, at the very least, negligence in enabling Epstein's misconduct.
