There is a history: (from a year ago)

The Victoria’s Secret billionaire Leslie Wexner says the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein “misappropriated vast sums of money” from Wexner’s fortune while serving as his financial adviser.

In a letter to members of his namesake Wexner Foundation, seen by The Wall Street Journal, the CEO and founder of L Brands, the parent company to Victoria’s Secret, said that Epstein had “misappropriated vast sums of money from me and my family.”

“This was, frankly, a tremendous shock, even though it clearly pales in comparison to the unthinkable allegations against him now,” Wexner continued in the letter.
Epstein was arrested last month and charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking over allegations involving girls as young as 14. He has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he faces up to 45 years in prison.

It is unclear how much money is believed to have been mismanaged. According to The Journal, tax records indicate that Epstein made a $46 million contribution to a Wexner charitable fund in January 2008. In his letter, Wexner said this amount represented a “portion” of the sum he says Epstein mishandled, according to CNBC.

He added that “every dollar” of that money originally belonged to the Wexner family. A representative for Wexner did not comment to The Journal on whether the “misappropriation” was reported to authorities.
