Les Wexner, the billionaire founder and former CEO of L Brands, may now be forced to share more details about his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who managed Wexner's finances.

Epstein, a registered sex offender and financier, was known for jet-setting with the likes of Bill Gates, President Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew, the third child of the UK's Queen Elizabeth.

Prosecutors in a January lawsuit against Epstein's estate allege that the former wealth manager ran a "trafficking pyramid scheme" from his private island in the US Virgin Islands until 2018.

Epstein was found dead of a suicide in a Manhattan jail on August 10 as he awaited trial on charges of sex trafficking minors.

Former L Brands CEO Les Wexner may have been Jeffrey Epstein's only confirmed client, but he was far from the ultrawealthy sex offender's only high powered friend.

Epstein, who pled guilty to charges of solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors for prostitution in Florida in 2007, ran a years-long "trafficking pyramid scheme" from the US Virgin Islands, prosecutors alleged in a lawsuit against the former wealth manager's estate in January. Meanwhile, the convicted sex offender maintained a vast social and professional network both on and off the Islands, which even included the wife of the US Virgin Islands' former governor.

Now, Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria's Secret's parent company, may be forced to share more about his ties to Epstein, after a judge ordered that correspondence between Wexner and Epstein's former lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, be unsealed.

Epstein, a former hedge-fund manager, kept his client list under wraps, but he often bragged of his elite social circle that included presidents and Hollywood stars.

"I invest in people — be it politics or science," Epstein was known to say, according to New York Magazine. "It's what I do."

Epstein, 66, died by suicide in a Manhattan jail on August 10 last year, as he awaited trial on charges of sex trafficking of minors. He had been in police custody since his arrest on July 6, shortly after exiting his private jet in New Jersey's Teterboro Airport. He pleaded not guilty on July 8 and was being held without bail in New York City, where he was already on suicide watch after an earlier reported suicide attempt that had led to his hospitalization, at the time of his death.
