Alan Dershowitz And His Legal Tussle With Les Wexner

After Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution deal — which Dershowitz helped negotiate — Dershowitz found himself accused by one of Epstein’s alleged victims, Virginia Giuffre, of having been trafficked by Epstein. Dershowitz vehemently denied the allegation and counter-sued, claiming Giuffre and her lawyers were engaged in an extortion scheme aimed not only at him but at Wexner, whom Dershowitz said Giuffre and her team threatened privately. In connection with that countersuit, Dershowitz deposed Wexner in early 2022, pointing to Wexner as a potential target of alleged extortion and arguing that any civil-suit payout should ultimately come from him rather than from Dershowitz. But Wexner’s camp pushed back hard. Attorneys for Wexner flatly denied that any extortion demand had ever been made, denied that any settlement had been entered into, and said no money or other consideration was ever paid. They asserted Wexner “had no involvement” and lacked “any personal knowledge relating to” Dershowitz’s “extortion claim.” That denial undermined a central plank of Dershowitz’s countersuit. Meanwhile, Wexner had previously publicly stated that he “regretted” his association with Epstein — noting that Epstein had misappropriated substantial sums from him. to contact me: [email protected] Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support .
