L Brands

L Brands, formerly the parent company of Victoria's Secret, is in the news due to the ongoing scrutiny of its founder, Les Wexner's, relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner, the former chairman and CEO, is being questioned by US legislators regarding his decades-long association with the convicted sex offender. He claims Epstein defrauded him of 'vast sums' and denies any knowledge of Epstein's crimes. Wexner's closed-door testimony comes after being subpoenaed by a congressional probe examining Epstein's files. The Wexner Foundation, which has funded figures like former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak who later partnered with Epstein, is also under scrutiny. This highlights the continued fallout and legal ramifications stemming from Epstein's actions and their impact on individuals and organizations connected to him.
