During a government hearing in February 2026, billionaire Les Wexner gave a deposition that took a turn when his own lawyer was caught on a live microphone. As Wexner began detailing Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to some of the most powerful people in the world, his attorney, Michael Levy, leaned in and whispered:
“I will f---ing kill you if you answer another question with more than five words, OK?”
The lawyer’s reaction happened as Wexner confirmed that Epstein worked with the Rothschild family. This is significant because the Rothschilds are a central part of the global banking system and are linked to the creation of the Federal Reserve. Wexner testified that Epstein used these high-level connections, including his work for the Rothschilds, to build an untouchable reputation.
Wexner also testified that Epstein was linked to other major figures, including Jeff Bezos, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Leon Black, and Glenn Dubin. Congressional investigators confirmed these individuals and the Rothschilds were among those who paid Epstein. As the founder of L Brands (Victoria’s Secret), Wexner was Epstein’s biggest supporter, even granting him Power of Attorney over his entire fortune. During the hearing, Wexner claimed he was a “naive” victim of a “world-class con man” and only cut ties in 2007 after discovering Epstein had stolen tens of millions from him.
The fact that Wexner’s lawyer was so aggressive about stopping him from talking right as he brought up the Rothschilds and these other billionaires has led to a lot of questions. People are now looking closely at the video to decide for themselves why the lawyer was so desperate to keep Wexner’s answers to five words or less.
