Activist from New York May Be The First in America to be Prosecuted for The Epstein Files. His Crime Setting Up an Easter Egg Hunt

The Epstein files are a contentious subject due to the graphic nature of their contents, and yet, no person in the United States, outside of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, has been held liable. But Carlos Calzadilla-Palacio, an activist from New York, claims that he will be the first man in the United States prosecuted “for” the Epstein files.

What’s Calzadilla-Palacio’s crime? Hosting an Easter egg hunt in Manhattan, New York, presumably without a permit. The eggs contained names of individuals allegedly involved with Jeffrey Epstein. It also included their supposed activities as accomplices to Epstein.

Leading up to his court date, the founder of activist group Disrupt Politics will be talking about an individual from the Epstein files and their alleged involvement. There are only 30 days left until his court date, so he opened the next egg. To help him explain certain legalities, Atty. Eliza Orleans, a public defender from Manhattan, also tuned in.

For today, they talked about Les Wexner—the founder of Bath & Body Works. He also notably built and transformed Victoria’s Secret as a brand. Calzadilla-Palacio and Orleans showed a power of attorney signed in 1991 by Les Wexner.

Les Wexner’s alleged Epstein connection

“The document gives Jeffrey Epstein, a man with no college degree, no Wall Street pedigree, and no investment track record, sweeping authority over Wexner’s fortune: the right to sign Wexner’s name, the right to make decisions about his money,” Calzadilla-Palacio explained. Wexner has never missed the Forbes 400 list and, to this day, is among the wealthiest Americans. The businessman is notably the richest resident of Ohio.

“Wexner is the answer nobody in this egg hunt has cracked yet: Where did Jeffrey Epstein’s money come from?” Orleans said, continuing, “The planes, the townhouses, the islands, the salaries, the hush money.”

According to the activist, Wexner is the primary financial patron of Epstein for almost two decades. He claimed that Wexner is “the single largest source” of Epstein’s wealth.

The attorney cited an article from The New York Times. The story spoke about the seven-story Manhattan townhouse on 71st Street. Prosecutors believe most of the abuse happened on the property. Orleans mentioned that Virginia Giuffre, Maria Farmer, and dozens of other young girls were assaulted on this property.

“Wexner bought that townhouse in 1989 for $13.2 million,” Calzadilla-Palacio said. He also cited that in 1995, Wexner transferred the ownership of the townhouse to Epstein. It was not sold to the infamous financier but given by Wexner.

No new prosecutions for the Epstein files

“Wexner says he cut ties in 2007, but Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a child for prostitution in 2008,” the attorney raised. She said of Wexner, “He has never been criminally charged, never been deposed by an attorney, or held accountable by a victim.”

She went further and showed that Wexner still runs Bath & Body Works. The billionaire’s net worth is estimated to be $7.6 billion.

“Every single person in this egg hunt was paid out of money Les Wexner made him rich enough to spend,” the activist concluded. The attorney noted the irony of Calzadilla-Palacio facing a civil case for an Easter egg hunt while bigger names appear to get away with worse crimes.

But these are all allegations for now, but there is notable frustration among Americans. Despite the partial disclosure of the files, no other direct conspirator or name in the documents has been prosecuted.
