Les Wexner is a bigwig in Ohio and the retail world.Which helps explain why a lawyer tell his billionaire client:
"I'll fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words. OK?"
He was thinking about how his client's day is coming. Just like...
Harvey Weinstein was a bigwig in Hollywood and all around the entertainment world and was found to have engaged in rape and drugging women for decades.
Ghislaine Maxwell was a bigwig organizing and operating a child sex and extortion ring with tentacles reaching, literally, all around the world.
A prince formerly known as Andrew was a bigwig in royal circles around the world, conducting official business and otherwise what not.
[IN YUL BRYNNER VOICE:] "Etc. Etc. Etc."
Which reminds me of other people whose day is fast coming:
Elon Musk is a bigwig in tech, space, transportation and government contracting who has benefitted economically from people protected by information gathered by Jeffrey Epstein's kompromat operation.
Peter Thiel is a bigwig in tech and all manner of government spy contracting who who has benefitted economically from people using information gathered by Jeffrey Epstein's kompromat operation.
Donald Trump is a bigwig in all manner of Kingly Treason through Act, Deed and Criminal Unconstitutional Abuse of Authority and Sundry Grifting who has benefitted economically and electorally from information gathered by Jeffrey Epstein's kompromat operation.

At the end of January, the U.S. Department of Justice released more than 3 million pages related to its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The document release, required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed by Congress in November, has surfaced new details about Epstein’s activities and associates.
A new Data for Progress poll finds that voters are hearing more about the Epstein files today than in 2025. In a survey from July 11-12 last year, only 25% of voters said they had heard “a lot” about the Epstein files, but today, that number has risen to 45%. An additional 47% say they have heard “a little,” and only 7% say they have heard “nothing at all.”
