The board of Victoria's Secret owner L Brands has directed the company to hire outside counsel to investigate the role Jeffrey Epstein played at the retailer.

Although Mr. Epstein was Mr. Wexner’s personal money manager, “we do not believe he was ever employed by nor served as an authorized representative of the company,” an L Brands spokeswoman said. “Mr. Epstein’s crimes are abhorrent, and we applaud every effort to bring justice to those harmed.”

Dang, can't read it. sds71 are you able to highlight? All I can read is:

“Mr. Epstein served for about two decades as the personal money manager for longtime CEO Leslie Wexner. Former executives said he also inserted himself into the business, buying a plane from the company for $10 million and trying to offer input on which women should be Victoria’s Secret models.”

Very encouraging the spotlight is on so many areas of this creeps life.

The article linked below says a judge could decide today whether to release the documents in Giuffre vs. Maxwell. Does anyone know what happened or when the decision will be made? I haven't been able to find anything but I haven't had much time to look.

Thank you!

Jeffrey Epstein case may expose the rich and powerful if judge unseals 2,000 pages

All I can see when I google is a snippet from Bloomberg Law that the judge postponed a hearing on the documents that was scheduled for Thursday. I can’t get the link to open. If I ever do, I’ll post it.

I'm not going to read it tonight as other cases are pulling my interest, but I'll post interesting quotes to save you from reading it. LOL.

Of course, others are welcome to beat me to it.

You da best ITD. I'm following the case, but I can't bring myself to read many of the articles on this thread--the headlines and snippets are enough to turn my stomach. I follow very few SA and murder cases on children/minors.

I skimmed the article quickly. Basically it’s saying that Clinton and Epstein knew each other early in Clinton’s first term, and that he had been to the White House and had connections on the staff. Epstein made a $10K contribution for the Oval Office renovation. Stuff like that showing that he and Clinton had a relationship before Clinton left office. Previously, it’s been said that their relationship was after 2000.

From the article:

Epstein, who is being held in Metropolitan Correctional Center during his trial for conspiracy and sex trafficking, was found semi-conscious with marks on his neck, two sources told News 4. Investigators are trying to piece together exactly what happened.

Two sources tell News 4 that Epstein may have tried to hang himself, while a third source cautioned that the injuries were not serious and questioned if Epstein might be using it as a way to get a transfer.

A fourth source said an assault has not been ruled out, and that another inmate was questioned. The inmate who investigators have talked to in Lower Manhattan facility has been identified as Nicholas Tartaglione, according to a source. Tartaglione is a former Orange County police officer who was arrested in December 2016 and accused of killing four men in an alleged cocaine distribution conspiracy, then burying their bodies in his yard in Otisville, according to court records.

The jail should have CCTV video, right? Injuries weren't serious, sounds like trying to get a transfer. JMO

Names do not want to be named.

It definitely makes one wonder.
However, at this juncture, my gut is going with "ploy to get a transfer."
My gut reserves the right to change its mind upon receipt of additional information.

Hmmmmmm...regarding the inmate questioned about possibly assaulting Epstein...

Barket said Tartaglione and Epstein have been complaining about conditions inside the MCC including flooding, rodents and bad food.

I would guess that there is some kind of plot to get transferred. Epstein is manipulative and might have even persuaded Tartaglione to injure him just enough to get a transfer. I’m not sure what’s in it for Tartaglione if that’s the case.

Epstein is going for the transfer. He should have thought about what jail was like before he molested, abused, groomed and ruined the lives of his survivors-- they live in much more hell than he does right now. I can't imagine a former cop trying to harm him.

"Sources told News 4 investigators questioned Tartaglione, and the former cop claimed not to have seen anything and insisted he did not touch Epstein, sources said.

The attorney for Tartaglione denied all the claims that his client attacked the financier, saying his client and Epstein get along well. The attorney added Epstein was seen today and appears to be fine.

"They are in the same unit and doing well," said Bruce Barket, an attorney for Tartaglione. He said any claim that Tartaglione might have assaulted Epstein "is absolutely not true."

Barket said Tartaglione and Epstein have been complaining about conditions inside the MCC including flooding, rodents and bad food.

Epstein is now on suicide watch inside MCC, according to two sources. Attorneys for Epstein did not immediately return calls for comment."

That was my first thought too - that he got the other guy to injure him.

Hope it doesn't work.

Thank you. I know they appealed but I thought the appeal was supposed to be decided today.

I am not sure what case that hasn't been heard yet you are referring to?

Edited: I am usually pretty good at doing my own research but I am having the darndest time trying to find the information I'm looking for.

Somehow the thought of Jeffrey Epstein having to cope with rodents and bad food doesn't bother me, although my usual viewpoint is that even prisoners accused of heinous crimes are entitled to humane, sanitary, and safe conditions.

Giuffre v. Maxwell was supposed to be today but Maxwell and Doe appealed to the 2nd circuit and that hasn’t been heard yet. I think that will be heard next week but I’m not sure

Posted July 24, 2019, 9:06 AM

The judge overseeing a case by a woman who claims she was victimized by Jeffrey Epstein and then defamed by his friend, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, postponed a court conference that had been scheduled for Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in Manhattan was set to meet with lawyers in a case filed by Virginia Giuffre, a Floridian who claimed Epstein sexually abused her for two years starting in 2000, when she was 16, and that Maxwell participated. Giuffre sued Maxwell in 2015 claiming she was defamed when Maxwell, daughter of the late British publisher Robert Maxwell, publicly called her...
