So sorry about confusing aspects of this post. I ran across odd but notable links that I added in regarding Epstein, Wexner, Ohio... more.

JULY 2019 Article: Questions surround Wexner foundation funded by Epstein

https://www.dispatch.com/news/20190711/questions-surround-wexner-foundation-funded-by-epstein

In December 2007, Mrs. Wexner formed the YLK Charitable Fund, according to Internal Revenue Service records obtained by The Dispatch. A month later, Epstein, who recently had been accused of having sex with children in Florida, donated $47 million to the fund through his company and his own foundation.

It would be the only money donated to the fund, according to records.

Epstein for years was a Wexner financial advisor and in 1998 was identified as president — along with Wexner — of the New Albany Co. in Ohio business records. Epstein owned land in the New Albany development, including a home on King George Drive that he owned from 1994 until selling it for $0 to the Wexners in December 2007, shortly before he donated money to Abigail Wexner’s YLK foundation.

The article says Wexner claimed Epstein "misappropriated" more than $46 million from him, but Wexner made no effort to recover, …

Thanks for that link @planncktonne

"The Wall Street Journal reported on a letter that solves at least a portion of the mystery. Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of Limited Brands who was Epstein’s only well-known client, told members of his foundation that Epstein “misappropriated” more than $46 million of his wealth. Wexner says he figured this out as he was cutting ties with Epstein in 2007, the first time Epstein got in legal trouble over his sexual abuse of minors.

The letters YLK are the initials of Mrs. Wexner's late father, Yehuda L. Koppel (1917-2006. Mr. Koppel played an important role in the founding of the State of Israel as a leader in the (Zionist military group) Haganah. (Later Haganah had an offshoot group: Zionist paramilitary group called Irgun. Reportedly a terrorist group Irgun _{Two of the operations for which the Irgun is best known are the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on 22 July 1946 and the Deir Yassin massacre, carried out together with Lehi on 9 April 1948.}

The YLK charitable foundation was formed in Dec 2007, Epstein donated to it in Jan 2008 via COUQ.

C.O.U.Q. and Second City Capital I

An SEC disclosure form shows that Second City Capital I received a total of $30 million in 2004 from two entities that share an address with Epstein's US Virgin Islands headquarters: COUQ Foundation, a nonprofit Epstein uses to fund science-related projects, and an entity called YHS LLC.

Two sources familiar with Second City Capital Partners confirmed to Business Insider that both investments were made by Epstein on behalf of Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of the L Brands, who is the only publicly known client of Epstein's purported services as a money manager to the hyperwealthy._{Jeffrey Epstein and Sen. Dianne Feinstein's husband were coinvestors in an exclusive private-equity fund}

Tax returns for COUQ Foundation show that the nonprofit first made a $3.8 million investment in Second City Capital Partners I in 2004. By 2008, it was worth $7 million; COUQ Foundation transferred its interest in the fund to a nonprofit associated with Wexner that year.

$6.977,770 Second City Capital Partners I plus $7,289,911 Bear Sterns Asset Backed Securities Overseas Ltd., for a total of:

$14,267,681 went to YLK charitable fund. https://fm.cnbc.com/applications/cnbc.com/resources/editorialfiles/2019/7/10/couq2007.pdf

Sidenote of interest

In addition to his investment in the fund on Wexner's behalf, Epstein directly coinvested an additional $20 million of his own money alongside Second City Capital Partners I into a debt-warrant instrument in a company called ID Biomedical, the person said.

In February 2008, a month after Epstein donated the money, Mr. Wexner announced that Dennis Hersch would replace Epstein as his business manager. Previously, Epstein had been Mr. Wexner's personal investment manager and a trustee of two Wexner foundations.

The timeline involving Epstein and the Wexner foundation overlaps a significant period in the investigation and prosecution of Epstein in the underage sex case. In September 2007, federal prosecutors drafted a 53-page indictment against Epstein that could have sent him to prison for years.

However, after nine months of intense negotiations, in June 2008 Epstein pleaded guilty to lesser state charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution. He also paid a settlement — $5.5 million in total — to three of more than two dozen teens who sued him. During those nine months between the initial indictment and final deal, Epstein had time to put his financial house in order.

The obvious question is: If Wexner figured out 12 years ago that Epstein had stolen a very large amount of money from him, why didn’t he do anything about it? He could have tried to get Epstein arrested and indicted for the theft. He also could have sued Epstein civilly. Didn’t he want his money back? http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/08/if-epstein-stole-from-wexner-why-didnt-wexner-sue.html

My question is/was (early on during writing this post before so many other things popped up): Did Epstein pay back the money via donation to Abigail's charitable fund? OR was it ever really misappropriated to begin with (meaning did that money essentially go from Wexner to Wexner, via Epstein). OR Were the Wexners helping Epstein hide/move Epstein's own money while he faced legal problems over his sex crimes against minors?

Also of interest: https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3379428 which was about this http://archive.is/yYDvO in regards to Les Wexner and Jeff Epstein and public corruption, bribery plus information related to the murder of Columbus attorney Arthur Shapiro.

The fun never stops while researching this thread: The State of Ohio Inspector General David Sturtz (deceased Sept 18 2015) https://columbusfreepress.com/article/memoriam-david-sturtz-1937-2015

1988, Governor Richard Celeste appointed him the state’s first Inspector General to investigate public corruption plaguing Ohio’s state agencies. Republican Governor Voinovich, elected in ’91, retained Sturtz as Inspector General until he began to uncover serious scandals involving the Governor’s family business in 1994.

Sturtz uncovered a vast network of corruption in Ohio involving unbid jail contracts going to the so-called “V” Company owned by Voinovich’s family; ties between Les Wexner and Carl Lindner, Jr., organized crime and the CIA; the “Coingate” scandal connected to the Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation and their money laundering into the George W. Bush campaign. As a result of these investigations, Voinovich fired Sturtz in 1994.

After Voinovich removed him, Sturtz was hired to investigate the corruption of Columbus Police Chief James G. Jackson. One of the things Sturtz was able to establish is that Jackson destroyed the Shapiro murder file – a report linking Wexner to the Gambino family of New York City through ties to the Debartolo family in Youngstown. He also was one of the first to investigate infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Wexner’s confidant and fixer.
