Leslie Wexner claims Epstein misappropriated $46M from him: Reports

The big picture: The New York Times reports that Wexner, the billionaire behind Victoria's Secret, said in a letter to Wexner Foundation members that he discovered money was missing after cutting ties with Epstein in 2007 — a year after the financier was charged with multiple counts of molestation and unlawful sexual activity with a minor (Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to lesser charges after reaching a sweetheart deal with prosecutors.).

"It was agreed that he should step back from the management of our personal finances. In that process, we discovered that he had misappropriated vast sums of money from me and my family. This was, frankly, a tremendous shock, even though it clearly pales in comparison to the unthinkable allegations against him now."
