The Epstein Chronicles

Ohio State, Donor Dollars, and the Wexner-Epstein Connection (12/9/25)


Listen Later

Jeffrey Epstein’s ascent into elite financial and social circles was not accidental, according to sustained criticism aimed at retail magnate Les Wexner, who is widely regarded as a central early enabler of Epstein’s power and legitimacy. Epstein, despite lacking conventional financial credentials, was granted extraordinary authority over Wexner’s assets, including sweeping power of attorney, access to properties, and control of finances. Critics argue this patronage gave Epstein the money, credibility, and institutional cover that allowed him to embed himself among political, academic, and royal elites for decades. Wexner, they contend, was not a passive bystander but a key architect in Epstein’s rise, with his financial backing serving as the foundation upon which Epstein built his broader influence and protection.

The criticism extends beyond Wexner himself to the institutions that continued to honor him while avoiding scrutiny of his ties to Epstein. Universities, particularly Ohio State University, are accused of prioritizing donor relationships and endowments over accountability, despite past failures to address sexual abuse allegations in other contexts. Observers argue that Wexner’s philanthropy and political donations helped deflect investigation and shield him from serious congressional inquiry, even as Epstein’s crimes became undeniable. Calls have grown for Congress to compel Wexner to testify under oath, framing his continued avoidance of direct questioning as emblematic of how wealth and institutional power have delayed accountability in the Epstein case.
