Mike Jeffries), the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, has been arrested on sex trafficking and interstate prostitution charges, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Jeffries was arrested in West Palm Beach, Florida. Two associates, Matthew Smith of West Palm Beach and James Jacobson of Wisconsin, were also arrested in connection with sex trafficking charges.
Jeffries, who was the controversial CEO of the popular clothing brand from 1992 to 2014, was released on $10 million bond later in the day. U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart ordered that he be confined to home detention with GPS monitoring and that he could not travel without approval and must surrender his passport. – NBC
Jeffries is being accused of exploiting young men with his partner Matt Smith at “sex parties he hosted”. It surely is eerily similar to Diddy and Epstein.
Les Wexner
- Jeffrey Epstein financier Les Wexner purchased Abercrombie & Fitch in 1988. Seems they passed the torch onto Mike.
Why did Wexner look at this guy who had bankrupted another company & say you are my guy to run Abercrombie & Fitch?
- Documents unsealed Tuesday from cases tied to Jeffrey Epstein, who died while facing federal sex trafficking charges, have named Ohio’s richest person as one of those involved with his victims.
The documents from the 17th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, tied to a Jan. 16, 2016, deposition of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, show quotes where she directly names L Brands creator Leslie Wexner as one of the “powerful business executives” she was sexually trafficked to. – NBC
- Arthur Shapiro was under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service for failing to file income tax returns for seven years and for possible investments in shady tax shelters. In March 1985, Shapiro was due to testify before a grand jury over his tax dodging—and whether anyone had helped him hide money. What he might reveal, no one knew, but he and his firm had several high-profile clients and a long history in Columbus.
But Arthur Shapiro never made it to the stand. A day before his scheduled testimony, someone fired two bullets point-blank into his head as he fled from a secretive breakfast meeting—held in his red BMW—at a Columbus cemetery.
Shapiro reportedly personally oversaw the account for The Limited, the clothing company owned by billionaire Les Wexner whose empire also included popular brands like Lane Bryant, Express, and Victoria’s Secret. The mob-style murder has never been solved.
The case’s curious twists and turns, though, would result in a controversial police report that accused some of Wexner’s business associates of having mob associations. Shapiro’s name would also appear decades later—seemingly as a red herring—in an FBI file involving the activities of another man important to Wexner’s business: the pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In 1991, the Columbus Ohio Police Department’s Organized Crime Bureau asked a civilian analyst to write a memo on the investigation into Shapiro’s murder. The secret report was so explosive that a police chief reportedly ordered it to be destroyed. But a local investigative journalist, Bob Fitrakis, got ahold of the findings when they were accidentally released through a public records request, and published the results in an article for the alt-weekly Columbus Alive. – Source
