While a good headline, this is inaccurate - Epstein did *not* own a tween clothing store.
Epstein had full power of attorney rights over Wexner’s brands and estate.
The FTC in this document was one set up with Wexner as the beneficiary that Epstein managed.
This specific trust was set up so Wexner could buy a chunk of Estée Lauder without it being associated with L Brands.
The brand Limited Too was part of L Brands.
But in 1999 they spun it out into an independent brand “Too, Inc” at this time they moved Wexner’s personal holdings in the brand into a trust.
Wexner’s holdings were held in a corporate entity to shield them from taxes. This was called “Too, Inc LHW” (Leslie Herbert Wexner) and was separate from “Too, Inc” the parent company.
The parent company supplied “Tween clothing” for basically all the L Brands outlets, like Abercrombie and Hollister.
Too Inc then launched a dedicated store called “Justice” and eventually folded all its operations into that.
Les Wexner still owned most of that equity via “Too, Inc LHW” but because it was via a corp, via a trust, it wasn’t clear who owned it when it went public as a stock called “Tween Brands” in the early 2000s.
He sold a ton of equity via that trust and the company eventually collapsed (like most of the spin out brands he exited)
Basically it seems that part of Epstein’s plan for Wexner’s estate was to spin out independent brands, have them sell to his main brands to pump their numbers, take that public, and then stop using them as a supplier after exiting.
The only brands he protected were the ones that gave him the best pipeline to models.(Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth))
