And, recall the big kerfuffle regarding the A&F catalog photos? The models were made to look like pre-teens; especially the underwear models?

I do.
Some (not so) random chaff about Wexner:
For background I lived multiple decades in the adjacent county and fairly near the Wexner (L Brands) headquarters of New Albany OH and where Wexner lives.
My libtard sister (a CPA) used to do the taxes for an A&F marketing exec at or around the time of the kerfuffle of what you speak. My sister (never one to harbor much discretion) let it slip at a family gathering this exec made north of $600K. The gal that reportedly was paid this was a dipstick and a ditz (a D^2!), and all I could think of was where the justice in all this was. The humanity!
I think Wexner’s palace was done around 1990. During the construction I heard stories from boots on the ground about how huge it was. I always tried to get a peek of the place, but it was situated pretty far from major thoroughfares and secluded by the prodigious Ohio flora, so no dice there.
Wexner’s presence in the area spurred HUGH and SERIES residential (uber high end $$$) and commercial development. Hated seeing sleepy rural farm areas turned upside down. What are you going to do?
The timelines bantied about here when Wexner hooked up with Epstein...seems that’s just about the time all that development in the New Albany area took off big time. (mid to late 80s).
Wexner’s first retail was The Limited. I remember a super cute farm gal from the local fair that went to work for the Limited and got in on the ground floor getting some stock when they went public. She did OK for herself I heard. (Did I tell you she drove a hot 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback? No? Well she did. Had a cool car before most of us graduated from bicycles.)
Funny after all these many years, yesterday was the first time I’ve ever seen a picture of Les Wexner despite his huge presence in the area.
Plenty of Wexner philanthro stuff in Columbus OH. What will be interesting to watch is this: if it turns out the present trend of stories coming out about Wexner corroborate certain not-so-good proclivities, then what is The Ohio State University going to do about the university medical center that got renamed to The Wexner Medical Center in 2012? I’m thinkin there’s going be quite a crap-storm headed their way over that.

not an A&F type, here, boss.
but, what you’re reporting fits the Wexler behavior model.
thanx for heads up.
