2. Les Wexner's brands were a staple of American malls for decades--but especially in Columbus, Ohio

The Columbus forum, not surprisingly has a lot to say about the Wexner Epstein connections.
Wexners' many retail businesses made Columbus rich and profitable in the 80s & 90s. Lots of that money went to Ohio State.

snip-"Les Wexner’s brands were a staple of American malls for decades—but especially in Columbus, Ohio, stepping into the mall meant stepping into Wexner’s world. As a girl in the ‘90s and ‘00s coming of age in mall culture, in the town where Wexner is king, I’m now coming to terms with the degree to which this unindicted Epstein co-conspirator shaped my relationship with my body: what I wore and how I looked, how I smelled, the underwear I wore, and even my sexuality. Girls my age were groomed through Wexner’s brands to dress, smell, and behave in ways that pedophiles would enjoy.

Wexner built his empire around young female bodies. And he handed Epstein the keys to his kingdom when he made Epstein executor of his estate."
