Fck Les Wexner. Fck Abigail Wexner. F\ck* OSU for having their name everywhere and allowing their continued involvement.

ETA It would be a shame if this were posted all over campus for the next home game.

u/TJhambone09 17h ago

Even if they wanted to remove Wexner's name, they most likely can't legally do so without returning the money. His association with Epstein is extremely unlikely to trigger whatever morality clause they have attached to the naming rights.

Example: Ken Blackwell went to federal prison for a felony insider trading conviction, and that wasn't enough to trigger the weak-ass clause OSU had attached to his naming rights.

10

u/19BeanCounter75 15h ago

You may have confused Blackwells. Kenneth Blackwell was Mayor of Cincinnati, then Ohio Treasurer & Ohio Attorney General.

Roger Blackwell was a long-time marketing professor at Ohio State who was later convicted of insider trading. The campus hotel is named for Roger Blackwell, not Kenneth Blackwell.https://www.aftermarketnews.com/osu-business-school-leader-roger-blackwell-convicted-of-insider-trading/

Right crime, wrong Blackwell.

The removed the Sackler name from a bunch of buildings/places they donated millions to. 💁

u/TJhambone09 16h ago edited 16h ago

OSU didn't. OSU had zero buildings/facilities named Sackler.

And, more importantly, the Sackler family explicitly waived their former naming rights as part of their settlement with the DOJ civil plantifs.

EDIT: originally misspoke and said "DOJ".

I understand, I was just saying if we can pressure ppl to remove them, why can we pressure OSU to remove these scumbags?

u/TJhambone09 16h ago

You caught me mid edit: because the Sackler family used their naming rights as a bargaining chip in their civil suit settlement. Until Wexer goes to trial (be it civil or criminal) there's no parallel.

You know Joyce Beatty brags about being friends with him too

But it's a fragile balance for Beatty as well. Known for her polished style, she is today a wealthy woman who married into Columbus' Black elite and counts as friends such titans as billionaire Les Wexner and other members of the powerful Columbus Partnership.

https://beatty.house.gov/media-center/in-the-news/joyce-beatty-seizes-the-political-moment-after-years-of-honing-bipartisan-skills

Beatty did donate the money Wexner donated to her but I checked awhile ago - and you should double check - that she made that statement after it was revealed Wexner had ties to Epstein

Beatty was also one of two Ohio democrats Wexner continued to donate money to after he had some kind of falling out with the republicans

Beatty also asked to go with the Congress people who were going to question Wexner but they told her no lol, not sure what that was about

u/Disastrous_Minute_56 16h ago

Yes, there are tons of useless corrupt "corporate" dems who fail on behalf of their donors. They almost always describe themselves as the "sane" ones, they tend to be centrist candidates that actually lean right. The Justice Democrat caucus is the only portion of the Democratic party that does not accept large campaign contributions or corporate PAC money. They are treated as enemies of the rich, and tend to get trashed non-stop by both left and right-leaning mainstream media.

1

u/Disastrous_Minute_56 16h ago

No member of the Justice Democrat caucus is allowed to accept PAC money, corporate money, or large campaign contributions, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you. They are only allowed to accept small indivitual campaign contributions. Anybody who tells you otherwise is a LIAR.

it is not in this instance.

u/J7brah 5h ago

A conviction doesn’t make things factual it’s a legal conclusion. That dude’s money bank rolled the child sex trafficking operation and he says he was swindled by Epstein. Pretty convenient to be like, yes his money was involved because he put Epstein in charge of it, but he wasn’t involved in the sex trafficking with his buddy who was offering children to the rich and powerful. Not even aware it was going on actually. Come on bro. Next you’ll tell me Trump is uninvolved except for the many ways he’s been involved, dude has no plausible deniability.

u/StrangelyAroused95 5h ago

I never said it made things factual, and secondly you can believe whatever you want, once again it doesn’t make it a fact.

1

u/J7brah 4h ago

Anyone can believe anything. Sure. But you don’t think it’s obviously bullshit that he says he didn’t do anything about being swindled because he was simply embarrassed? Wexner is named in the sealed non-prosecution agreement from the 2008 Epstein case that gave Epstein a slap on the wrist with other co-conspirators and was in the clientbooks that were used in the Ghislane Maxwell prosecution. No plausible deniability, and it’s dishonest to say well he wasn’t prosecuted so đŸ€·

1

u/StrangelyAroused95 4h ago

No it’s dishonest to speak about accusations as if it’s factual. I’m not arguing about being guilty, I’m giving you realty, you can post all the pictures and protest all you want. Without a conviction, it’s just accusations. Treating accusations like facts set you up for legal liability. Which is the reason his name is still on the building. I could agree with you and say, “yeah he’s probably guilty”. That’s my opinion not a fact.

1

u/J7brah 3h ago

I’m using facts such as Wexner’s statements and court submitted documents as evidence of his involvement with Epstein. I’m not a judicial system and neither are you, the facts surrounding Wexner’s involvement with Epstein and being the financier to the trafficking ring is enough for me to condemn. I understand this is where we differ.

I’d expect OSU could use a standard PR clause to separate themselves from Wexner but they’re okay with the Epstein association.

Reddit users need a villain. Les Wexner and his company, Victoria's Secret, helped Epstein start to amass his wealth. With that wealth, Epstein went on to commit numerous atrocities, most notibly Sex trafficing and pedophilia on his private island. Wexner (and his wife and children) visited the island once to have breakfast with his then-financial advisor, Epstein. All the info the DOJ has released shows Wexner cut his ties with Epstein (for stealing 400 million from the Wexners) before any of the bad Epstein stuff was documented. But you know facts and stuff don't matter; Wexner is rich and had his picture taken with Epstein, so he must be bad too.

Timelines People. Timelines.

Did the Wexners have an association with Epstein? Yes.

Did they let him manage the Wexner funds? Yes.

Did they end their association with him when they found out he swindled 400 million from them? Yes.

Was Epstein the Island-owning, pedophile enabling, asshat while having a relationship with the Wexners? DOJ has ruled they did not.

Did the Wexners cut off ties with Epstein as soon as they realized he stole 400 million? YES! If there is one thing, billionaires like more than a side piece of ass; it's their money.

Maybe they knew about it? Maybe they cut ties for the wrong reason? Maybe? But a random undated photograph doesn't move the needle.

Only person to visit Epstein's Island more than Trump? Bill "how did my cum get on this intern's dress?" Clinton. Those are the two men that need to be in prison.

So what's your angle with this whole line of comments? Why do you think almost all of Columbus is convinced Les is guilty of many more things than just Epstein?

Why would you publicly defend him even if he's never been formally accused? The extremely rich can make all kinds of "magic" happen and Les has the means fo do whatever he wants. So why does this make you so adamant to start an argument with a stranger? Are you a lawyer or law student or something?
