The Justice Department just released millions of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Amongst them are letters that offer a glimpse into how Epstein tried to leverage his many powerful, wealthy contacts. One such letter was a draft Epstein wrote to Leslie Wexner, the billionaire retail tycoon who was once his main financial backer.
The undated letter, addressed to “Les,” came after their acrimonious split. However, Epstein was clearly trying to remind Wexner of their past, writing, “You and I had ‘gang stuff’ for over 15 years,” and, “I owe a great debt to you, as frankly you owe to me.” Epstein was careful to add that he had “no intention of divulging any confidence of ours,” which sounds less like a reassurance and more like an implied threat.
