1. It is good IMHO to be skeptical about things one hears, there's a whole Epstein cottage industry ATM

We know Epstein was a money manager, we know Wexner's were rich and Epstein was employed as their money manager. The family also says they cut off Epstein in like 2007 for stealing from them.

I'm not saying Wexner is categorically innocent (by any stretch), but FBI investigated their relationship a long time ago (I think when working on the Federal case vs. Epstein circa 2019 but not 100 on that), with Wexner and his wife cooperating/testifying, and the Wexner's attorney said the were told they were not targets or suspects at the time. They've never been charged with anything and no proof that they knew he was molesting teenagers has emerged (though he may have, which means he sucks!!!)

I also don't think (again, IIRC) any woman has accused Wexner of sexual misconduct around Epstein other than I think Virginia Guiffre's lawyers named him as "someone who knew or should have known what Epstein was up to" when they sued Maxwell (if I'm recalling the timeline correctly).

Just saying I think the facts supporting your thesis may be pretty thin in this case. Wexner is probably most rightly described as a "knew or should have known" character in the story, at least based on the evidence available now, rather than a perp. Though that may change
