Thanks. They only identify two of the six names though--notably Leslie Wexler who was missing from your initial comment. I assume there will be more coverage on who these people are soon.
It looks like Nuara was/is an NYPD detective who showed up in the little black book quite some time ago, but the name didn’t ring any bells.
Nicola Caputo is apparently an Italian politician.
Mikeladze and Leonov seem to be the least visible two characters here. I haven’t found anything about them through brief searching, but I’m curious to see what comes up.
Wexner and the Sultan are both fairly visible characters you can read up on.
"Bin Sulayem is a billionaire businessman and real estate developer from Dubai – and brother of Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the head of FIA, the body that governs the world’s motorsport championships, including the prestigious Formula One series."
I imagine this has something to do with why Trump was suddenly going on about having an F1 race in DC. I'm sure he got paid to keep this under wraps.
I think they're sharpening the knives in Silicon Valley to get someone else in office to make this go away for them. Probably boot Trump, put Vance in like Thiel wants and then make this all go away, so they can get back to the business of bleeding us all dry silently.
Over the years, Wexner built L Brands, a retailing and marketing conglomerate that included Victoria's Secret, Pink (Victoria's Secret for teens), Bath & Body Works, Henri Bendel, The White Barn Candle Company, and La Senza. Previous brands that were spun off include Lane Bryant, Abercrombie & Fitch, Lerner New York, The Limited Too (now Tween Brands, Inc.), Structure 9, Aura Science, The Limited, and Express.

Thanks. Makes sense with the minimal information released that we don't know much about these people yet.

An Indy race was just announced, I am not up to speed on if a F1 race is also happening.
Asafum@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 185d
Ahhh ok I might have gotten that mixed up in my head. Indy would definitely be different

I mean, Penske is probably not clean in a lot of ways either...

The explicit text of the Epstein Files Transparency Act says otherwise.

Tomorrow's headline:
"Ro Khanna found dead with three gunshot wounds to the head in what is being ruled a suicide."

I don't know, Ro Khanna is backed by billionaire dark money too. I think it's a rival hit, not a loan wolf kinda thing.

why were they protected?
Also Krassenstein left out Les Wexner, whose name was also read but we were already aware of.

Yeah I didn't realize pink was for teens, I just thought it was some thing for breast cancer, like they donated a certain amount for it.
