... and it's by none other than Vicky Ward!

https://web.archive.org/web/20150612144453/http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/03/jeffrey-epstein-200303

Ward goes into his early career at Bear Sterns, and includes Epstein's introduction to extremely wealthy men such as Leslie Wexner (among others). This article is quite an eye-opener to the fashionable life of young Jeffrey Epstein.

Vicky explained years later that her mentioning Epstein's attraction to underage girls was edited out of this article even though she had corroborated sources. She assumes that Epstein himself demanded that the girl-stuff be removed before publication.
