Ord curious on your take on the Epstein/Wexner ... Sports by brooks was raging that Epstein donated to have a building named after wexner ...

Wexner's wife gave the 5 million to have some athletic building named after him for his birthday. It turns out that Epstein pitched in half the amount, so we did take 2.5M from him for the naming of the athletic building. Other than that, he made a few small annual donations to the Wexner Center. There's no link between him and Ohio State other than his kissing Wexner's ass.

OTOH, Wexner might be a little bit worried right now. Not because of the sex stuff but because it's looking like Epstein's entire firm was a sham and what he really did was do a bunch of shady financial shit for Wexner, a lot of it Israel related. If I were to set the odds on who has him whacked, I'm saying the order would be:

  1. Clinton
  2. Wexner
  3. Royal Family (Prince Andrew visited the island apparently)
  4. Trump

Getting back on topic. Given the amount of money that's been poured into the medical center over the last decade, including two 100M donations, I would certainly expect to see it climb towards being a top 20 medical school and some serious questions start to be asked if it doesn't.

Uh, maybe also because of the sex stuff?
How Jeffrey Epstein Used the Billionaire Behind Victoria’s Secret for Wealth and Women

In May 1997, Alicia Arden, a model in California, was introduced to a man who identified himself as a talent scout for Victoria’s Secret. He invited her to his Santa Monica hotel room to audition for the brand’s catalog. When she arrived, Ms. Arden said, the man grabbed her, tried to undress her and said he wanted to “manhandle” her. Ms. Arden, then 27, fled in tears.

It was the type of crisis that should not have come as a complete surprise to leaders at L Brands, the parent company of Victoria’s Secret.

In the mid-1990s, two senior executives had discovered that the same man, a close adviser to the company’s chief executive, Leslie H. Wexner, was trying to pitch himself as a recruiter for Victoria’s Secret models. Mr. Wexner was alerted, according to the two executives.

It is unclear what if any action Mr. Wexner took in response. But the man — Jeffrey E. Epstein, a New York financier — had developed an unusually strong hold on Mr. Wexner, one of the country’s most influential corporate titans.
