The 2008 NPA Timeline Problem

The 2008 NPA that gave Epstein a non-prosecution agreement came after Wexner said he had cut ties. However, Epstein’s name remained associated with properties Wexner had transferred to him, raising questions about the completeness of the separation.

Wexner has never fully explained: (1) why it took approximately 20 years to discover the fraud; (2) how much money was recovered; (3) whether he had any knowledge of Epstein’s trafficking during the period of their relationship.
