Billionaire Leslie Wexner said on Wednesday he once visited the island of late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein but denied having knowledge of his criminal activity. Wexner, 88, said he cut all ties to Epstein nearly 20 years ago. "And, let me be crystal clear: I never witnessed nor had any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity. Wexner, a former CEO and founder of Victoria's Secret-owner L Brands, hired Epstein as his personal money manager starting in the 1980s. Wexner said Epstein stole "vast sums" of money from his family.
