Epstein's Wealth Rise

A recent New York Times Magazine investigation examines Jeffrey Epstein's rise to wealth and influence.
Epstein, a college dropout from Brooklyn, began his Wall Street career after meeting Ace Greenberg of Bear Stearns at an art gallery event.
Despite lacking formal qualifications, Epstein was hired by Greenberg and later became the money manager for billionaire Les Wexner.
Wexner granted Epstein power of attorney, raising concerns as Epstein's criminal activities escalated in the late 1990s.
Wexner has faced scrutiny over his ties to Epstein amid protests from sexual abuse survivors.
