Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Jeffrey Epstein and Celebrity Hairstylist Frederic Fekkai (5/25/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, folks, So what we're going to talk about
- 0:03this morning, as far as the topic is Jeffrey Epstein,
- 0:08obviously and his buddy in the hair salon industry, mister
- 0:18Fred Fouquet. Now we've done an article on this very
- 0:25subject before, but it was a long long time ago.
- 0:28So I thought that we'd pop back in and we'd
- 0:33jog your memory a little bit on just how smarmy
- 0:36and scummy all of these enablers were, and all of
- 0:39these people who were still associating with Epstein even after
- 0:44his first arrest. This article is from the Daily Beast
- 0:50headline Epstein flaunted girls after his arrest at hair salon
- 0:54for the Stars this article. This article was authored by
- 0:59Emily Sugarman. This article was originally authored on October sixth
- 1:08of two thousand and nineteen. In the years after he
- 1:13registered as a sex offender pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein launched a
- 1:17veritable crusade to rehabilitate his image. No doubt about that.
- 1:21The dude was literally on a crusade to fix his image.
- 1:24We've talked about the money at the universities. We know
- 1:28about the people in the business world that were helping
- 1:31him refurbish his image. We know about the politicians, we
- 1:35know about the royals, So yeah, that's exactly what was occurring,
- 1:39There's no doubt. And all of the people that made
- 1:42that a reality, all of them should be held accountable
- 1:46for helping this man refurbish his image. The convicted felon
- 1:56donated to prominent charities, convince friends to him to a
- 2:00list events, and took to wearing a Harvard sweatshirt whenever
- 2:04there was a camera around. But among the most important
- 2:07stops on Epstein's comeback tour were his regular appointments a hairdresser,
- 2:12Frederick Fakai's high profile salons. So Frederick Fakai is like
- 2:17a you know, suppose top notch hair guy, hairdresser, you know,
- 2:24a lot of the stars go to him, big shot
- 2:26in New York, and this was a place where Jeffrey
- 2:30Epstein had it set up that he could send the
- 2:32girls down there his Core four whenever he wanted to
- 2:35get their hair done, to get them all spiffed up,
- 2:37you know, the whole nine. So it wasn't like it
- 2:40was just a loose business relationship between the two. They
- 2:45obviously were very tight and Jeffrey Epstein would send his
- 2:49girls there for a reason, right. Multiple former FACAI employees
- 2:58told The Daily Beast that EPs Dean regularly brought groups
- 3:01of young women into the New York salon after his conviction,
- 3:05were he paid for their services and had them sit
- 3:08on his lap and stroke his hair. What a weirdo, dude,
- 3:11this guy would bring in these girls, right, Just think
- 3:13about it for a minute. He'd bring in these girls
- 3:15from disadvantaged backgrounds, girls that he had been grooming, girls
- 3:20that he had been setting up for the trafficking ring
- 3:24or whatever, and then he'd bring them down to this
- 3:27salon like he's the you know, the Grand Puba or something,
- 3:31and he'd have them down there sitting on his lap,
- 3:33playing with his hair. It's just ultra creepy to think
- 3:37about this dumb ass faced MF sitting there, having these
- 3:42young girls playing with his hair and all of this jazz,
- 3:45and nobody saying anything about it. Nobody, you know, tapping
- 3:48the guy next to him and saying, hey, what's up
- 3:51with this dude? What is going on over here? But
- 3:54you see, folks, for us, it would be weird for us,
- 3:57we would ask questions, but not them in their world,
- 4:01the way that they conduct themselves. This shit is commonplace. Obviously,
- 4:11when he was in Florida, former employees said Epstein would
- 4:14have for Kai stylists make house calls to his Palm
- 4:17Beach estate. Doesn't sound like people that just had a
- 4:20business relationship, right, We're talking pretty close friends, We're talking.
- 4:25I am so close to you that even when I'm
- 4:29in Palm Beach that I'm going to have you send
- 4:32down stylists to take care of the needs of the
- 4:37girls that I have here that I'm you know, trafficking
- 4:41or abusing or you know, grooming for that purpose, I'm
- 4:45gonna have your people come down to take care of them.
- 4:48Does that sound like somebody who isn't close with somebody?
- 4:53You know, you give your business to the people you're
- 4:55close to, right. Unbeknownst to them, Fakai's brand had received
- 5:05an influx of cash years earlier from a company backed
- 5:08by L Brands, the same real retailer owned by Epstein's
- 5:13only known client, Les Wexner. Not anymore, and again it's
- 5:18all coincidence, right, That's what they would have you believe.
- 5:21And if we didn't go through all of these articles
- 5:23the way that we do, their narrative would would be
- 5:27the narrative, right that it would be it. But when
- 5:30you go through all of these articles and you start
- 5:33putting them against each other, running the articles against each other,
- 5:36you get you start to see the big picture here.
- 5:39You start to understand very quickly that this isn't just
- 5:43all coincidence, that all of this stuff ties in together,
- 5:48either in a very close manner or at the very
- 5:52least loosely, and all of these people are connected. What
- 5:59do you think it just so happened that the l
- 6:03Brands gave an influx of cash to Forcai and then Epstein.
- 6:09That's the place where Epstein goes to bring the girls
- 6:12to get their hair and stuff done. There's no coincidences here, folks,
- 6:17all right, all of this stuff adds up. A spokesperson
- 6:23for Frederick for Kai Brands said the company had been
- 6:26sold by the time of Epstein's conviction in two thousand
- 6:29and eight, and that for Kai was not involved in
- 6:31the salons at the time. Neither he nor the current
- 6:35management team had any knowledge of the incidents described, and
- 6:39in Misterka's limited acquaintance with mister Epstein, he never witnessed
- 6:43any of the deplorable conduct that led to mister Epstein's conviction.
- 6:47The spokesperson said, all of these people with the same story. Oh,
- 6:56we had no idea what was going on. I had
- 6:58no clue. There were no signs. Jeff's just a really
- 7:03good looking guy, you know, Brad pittesque, and the girls
- 7:06are all over him. A regular old casanova. Yeah maybe
- 7:11if you're blind. Two decades ago, Epstein would have been
- 7:17indistinguishable from the dozens of celebrity clients who flocked to
- 7:21Fokai's Upper East Side salon Forcai, a charismatic cohort known
- 7:26for his boyish good looks, opened his first salon in
- 7:29nineteen ninet eighty eight and rose quickly from unknown French
- 7:32hairdresser to stylists to the stars. Oh another frenchman. Huh.
- 7:37I'm wondering does he know Jean Luke Brunel. I wonder
- 7:41how close they are. He styled celebrities like Demi Moore,
- 7:48Jody Foster, and Meryl Street for the Red Carpet, and
- 7:51was credited with giving Hillary Clinton her signature short layer
- 7:54due Oh another tie. Huh, Just another coincidence that Hillary
- 7:58Clinton used to go there as well, right, Just all
- 8:01these stars went there Bobby, all right, what are you
- 8:03talking about? Okay, just a coincidence. A two thousand and
- 8:09five New York Times article listed cuts at Forakai salon,
- 8:13which could run up to seven hundred and fifty dollars apiece,
- 8:16as one of the many upsides for Epstein's personal assistance. Yeah,
- 8:20so you know there was no relationship there. He just
- 8:26sent them down to Fakais, because why not such bs?
- 8:33Obviously Epstein and Fakai were a lot closer than is
- 8:37being stated. Obviously they had a friendship. Obviously they were boys,
- 8:43just like with Leon Black and Jess Staley and the
- 8:47rest of these people who act like they weren't friendly
- 8:50with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, it comes to a point in
- 8:54time when they can no longer deny that, so they
- 8:57move into another form of denial. Right. Oh well, I
- 9:01might have known him, but I had no idea what
- 9:04he was doing. How many times are we going to
- 9:07hear that same broken record from different people? In addition
- 9:14to the rich payday, he also ladels on the perks.
- 9:17The article said of the financier pedophile. He maintains a
- 9:21charge account at Frederick Forcai, the Society hairdresser for their
- 9:25unlimited use and pays for all food eaten during his
- 9:28lengthy business hours, including takeout from La Cirque. Oh fancy
- 9:34mister fancy pants over here. So again, he is close
- 9:40enough to the Facai brand that he has a charge
- 9:43account with them. That's not for normal people, that's for
- 9:47big shots, right, And when you're a big shot, you
- 9:50better believe the owner of the product that you're purchasing
- 9:53certainly knows your name, certainly knows who you are, and
- 9:56certainly comes out from the back room to greet you
- 9:58when you show up at the shot. Furthermore, you can't
- 10:05get away from the fact that Forkai was sending his
- 10:07hairdressers down to Palm Beach for Epstein, but for Kai
- 10:14and Epstein appeared to be closer than just stylist and client.
- 10:19The pedophile had sixteen numbers for Forcai in his black
- 10:22book of contacts, including the hairdresser's home number, his French
- 10:26cell phone, and a number for his assistant. Flight Logs
- 10:29show Facai flew on Epstein's private plane at least twice
- 10:33in two thousand and two thousand and two, along with
- 10:37Epstein's alleged Madam Guilean Maxwell and his shady model scout
- 10:41pal Jean Luke Brunel. Both ruin jail. They're both in jail,
- 10:45by the way, okay for human trafficking. All right. Epstein's dead,
- 10:50charged with human trafficking. But for Kai knows nothing. He's
- 10:53around all of these people, he's flying on the plane
- 10:56with these people, but he knows nothing. And it was
- 11:01just a business relationship according to him. Yeah, why are
- 11:04you on that plane there, chief? What are you doing
- 11:06flying around on Jeffrey Epstein's plane if you guys are
- 11:10not homies. Simone Banos, a longtime friend of Fakai, told
- 11:19The Daily Beast that Epstein and Forakai ran in similar
- 11:22New York social circles, but said she couldn't imagine the
- 11:25hairdresser staying friends with Epstein after he was convicted of
- 11:29soliciting a minor for prostitution and accused by dozens more
- 11:33of sexual assault. You know, people always say that, right,
- 11:36and I you know, I'd want to think that about
- 11:39my friends too. Nah, No way, no way, Jason did that.
- 11:46But we don't know what people do when those doors
- 11:49are closed. Everybody has two faces, right, the face they
- 11:53present to the public and then their true face, so
- 11:57you never know, and for people to come out and say, oh, well,
- 12:02there's no way, I just I find that ridiculous. Honestly,
- 12:07unless you spent every waking moment with the person, you know.
- 12:11There's a lot of allegations here. A spokesperson for FACAI
- 12:21said the hairdresser had a very limited acquaintance with Epstein,
- 12:24who was known to aggressively cultivate celebrities. He was not
- 12:27Epstein's friend or his stylist. No, not at all. No, no,
- 12:33And another thing he was known to cultivate. Then what
- 12:37does that say about celebrities and stylists and politicians? A
- 12:43bunch of jackwagons who all they see in their eyes
- 12:47are dollar signs and they don't care where they come from.
- 12:50Do we have to establish that anymore solidly? Frederick is
- 12:57disgusted and sickened by Epstein's activity, which no one was
- 13:01aware of in two thousand and two thousand and two
- 13:03when Frederick accepted a ride on his jet, except that
- 13:06girls were being abused at that point, What other girls
- 13:10were on those planes? Well, you were on those planes, Frederick.
- 13:14How many of those girls were being abused at the
- 13:16time you were on those planes? Frederick? Maybe not right
- 13:21then at that moment, Frederick, But how many of those
- 13:26girls who were being transported across state lines to be
- 13:29abused were you hanging out with. Had he been aware,
- 13:36he would have never boarded that plane, let alone with
- 13:39his five year old son, his son, his son's nanny,
- 13:42and his girlfriend at the time. Another one who brings
- 13:45his family up. Huh, here's an idea, stop it. But
- 13:50four former FACAI employees at Epstein remained a regular at
- 13:54the salon even after his two thousand and eight conviction.
- 13:58Three of these employees were called Epstein bringing a rotating
- 14:01cast of tall, beautiful, and suspiciously young looking women with
- 14:06him for monthly appointments. So you notice how it's like
- 14:10the normal folks that work in these establishments who say, yeah,
- 14:14those girls look young, man, shit did not sit well
- 14:17with me. Those are the normal people, you know, like us,
- 14:20we look at this shit and we're like, eh, this
- 14:22is somethings a little off here. But again, these people,
- 14:25it's commonplace for them. That's how they live their lives.
- 14:28They all think that they're like tenth century dukes, and
- 14:32everybody's living in their duchy and they can do whatever
- 14:34the hell they want. The fourth employer remembered Epstein bringing
- 14:40women in with him, but could not recall details of
- 14:43their interactions. The financier Pedophile paid for the women's haircuts
- 14:48and dye jobs from his house account, the employee said,
- 14:51and either he or a female associate dictated exactly how
- 14:56their hair was styled. In between services, the the women
- 15:00sat on Epstein's lap or stroked his hair in full
- 15:03view of hundreds of guests of Fakai's nine thousand square
- 15:08foot hair emporium. It was very out there in the open.
- 15:11One former employee said, everyone knew no shit, everyone knew.
- 15:15Thanks for being honest that least, and saying everyone knew.
- 15:21So a female associate dictated exactly how their hair was styled.
- 15:28I wonder who that female associate was. Sarah Kellen Vickers
- 15:32is my guest, orgieland Maxwell one of the two. He
- 15:39didn't give an f Another former employee said he was
- 15:44coming in like he was running the show. He didn't care.
- 15:47And this is after his first conviction. Remember, Epstein came
- 15:50in there brazenly with these young girls and did whatever
- 15:53he wanted. Porded the planes with these young girls. Even
- 15:56after his arrest and according to the Denise George, he
- 15:59was still a using these young girls after his arrest, So,
- 16:03mister Fokai, you got a lot to answer for, you,
- 16:08smarmy son of a bitch. Several of the former employees
- 16:14told The Daily Beast they asked not to work with
- 16:17Epstein or the women he brought in after his conviction,
- 16:20but they also said they did not want to complain
- 16:22too much because it was clear Epstein was friendly with
- 16:25Forcai and because they could not tell if something illegal
- 16:29was going on. So do you blame them? I mean,
- 16:33if I owned a hair dressing shop, a hairstylist and
- 16:37Jeffrey Epstein walked in and one of my employees said, hey,
- 16:40look Bobby, I'm not comfortable working with this guy, they
- 16:45wouldn't work with him. Pretty simple. I mean, obviously, as
- 16:47an owner, I would never let Epstein in my establishment.
- 16:50I'm just saying of any client. Right, if you're an
- 16:53employer and your employee comes to you with that sort
- 16:56of issue, you have to take note, and not only
- 16:59take no, you have to take action. If you're a
- 17:01good manager or a good owner. I know me in
- 17:04a management position, I would do everything in my power
- 17:07to protect my employees from a shitty situation. The thing is,
- 17:13we can never tell how old the girls were. One
- 17:15former employee said they came in heels, makeup. They were
- 17:20all way too young for him. But legal, you didn't
- 17:22always know, and that's definitely a problem too, right, we don't.
- 17:25How do you know? I live in Las Vegas home
- 17:29of the young lady that looks like she's thirty. You
- 17:32can't tell who's sixteen or thirty these days, especially if
- 17:36they're getting all dolled up by Jeffrey Epstein's stylists. One
- 17:41thing is certain, Epstein was running around with a bunch
- 17:45of young girls that he should not have been running
- 17:47around with, point blank period. But he was a pig,
- 17:52no matter what. The employee added, fair, very fair, It's
- 17:57a good way to explain Jeffrey Epstein straightened to the point, huh,
- 18:01here was a pig in pom Beach, the ritzy vacation
- 18:06town where Epstein was first charged. FACAI employees said stylists
- 18:10made regular house calls to the financier pedophile in the
- 18:14same two and a half million dollar estate where he
- 18:16spent his year long house arrest. So again they were
- 18:21coming down to Florida folks. This wasn't just like, oh
- 18:23you're I got a stylist in New York. I got
- 18:25me one in Florida, my preferred stylist. Blah blah blah. No,
- 18:29wasn't that. One stylist said he was first introduced to
- 18:35Epstein by Facai himself at the New York salon and
- 18:38started cutting Epstein's hair at his Palm Beach home. In
- 18:42twenty twelve, Three current and former co workers confirmed that
- 18:46they had heard the stylists talk about these trips. So
- 18:50for the Facai folks to come out and act like
- 18:52they weren't closed with Epstein as just buckis absolute bs.
- 18:55And if you're lying about that, what else are you
- 18:58lying about? Paging the FBI, paging the Department of just us,
- 19:05paging Maureen Komy. Is anybody gonna take a look at
- 19:08this shit? Or no, no big deal, we don't want to,
- 19:11you know, Is it a point where we've went far enough?
- 19:14Is that how the prosecution feels and we're no longer
- 19:17gonna push the envelope. We'll give them a little red
- 19:20meat and that's where it'll stop. Well, I don't know
- 19:23about you, folks, but that's just an appetizer for me.
- 19:27I'm hungry, I want a five course meal. The stylist
- 19:35said he often spoke with Sarah Kellen and Leslie Groff,
- 19:38two of Epstein's assistants who have been accused of recruiting
- 19:41girls for his sexual massages, but never saw anything that
- 19:45aroused his suspicions. An attorney for groffs that she never
- 19:49engaged in any misconduct during her employment with Epstein. Oh yeah,
- 19:53you know, that's believable. How about this, miss Groff under oath,
- 19:58Let's hear the same statements. Let's see the same vimen vigor.
- 20:05Any girls that I saw that were there, I always
- 20:07found them very educated, very smart, very articulate. He told
- 20:11The Daily Beast. When I was there for the hour
- 20:14and a half, he was a gentleman. I don't look again.
- 20:19Face for the world, and then a face in private.
- 20:23And some of those faces in private are the faces
- 20:26of legit demons, and that's what Jeffrey Epstein certainly was.
- 20:29Folks as close to an evil entity as you possibly
- 20:33can get. A Fakai brand spokesperson said the company completed
- 20:39in an exhaustive review of its records and found no
- 20:42receipts for house calls to Epstein's residences. Oh, that's likely.
- 20:45So all these employees are lying for what What do
- 20:48they have to gain to be lying about this flip
- 20:51that around? What does FACAI have to gain about lying?
- 20:55A whole bunch, doesn't he If a stylist did make
- 20:59a house called to one of his homes, he or
- 21:01she did not do so as an employee of the company,
- 21:03The spokesperson said, plausible deniability. This case is riddled with it,
- 21:10and all of these people think they're gonna get away
- 21:12with it with their little canned statements and their cute words.
- 21:16That ship has sailed, folks, nobody wants to hear that shit.
- 21:23We want something of substance. You're gonna have to really
- 21:26make a comment with some substance. Really, what you need
- 21:31to do is speak to the FBI. What the style
- 21:36is did not know was the extent of their company's
- 21:39financial relationship with less Wexner, Epstein's only known client. And
- 21:44there is another rub. Right, what do you think Epstein
- 21:47was paying for these haircuts? Yeah? Right. Once a good
- 21:51old cripkeeper Les Wexner pumps some cash in, that means
- 21:54Epstein also has his hooks in. So the freebies start
- 21:57rolling in for Epstein. He's definitely he was definitely one
- 22:01of those guys, right, money bursting out of his pockets
- 22:04but never wanting to put his fingers in his pocket
- 22:08to pull a dollar bill out. Dude had short arms
- 22:12but deep pockets. Wexner is was the CEO of L Brands,
- 22:19which owns brands like Victoria's Secret and Bath and Bodyworks,
- 22:22and had an agreement to run upmarket stores under the
- 22:26CEO Bigelow name. He first hired Epstein as his personal
- 22:29financial advisor, but eventually handed over an uncommon amount of
- 22:33money and power to the relatively unknown money man and
- 22:38sounds familiar, right, who else did that, mister Leon Black?
- 22:42So why would two of the most powerful people in
- 22:44the world financially speaking, Less Wexner and Leon Black had
- 22:50the keys to the castle to Jeffrey Epstein with Leon
- 22:53Black Well, I suspect it had to do with Leon
- 22:56Black's own sexual problems with Less Wexner. Well, that story
- 23:04is still untold. Among other things, Wexner gave Epstein full
- 23:10power of attorney and reportedly donated more than ten million
- 23:14dollars to Epstein's charity through his personal foundation. That money
- 23:18needs to be looked at. That money went through those
- 23:20offshore companies, and there is so much more to uncover
- 23:24in the financial realm of this story. I really wish
- 23:29some of these outlets would go hard. Where's the Wall
- 23:31Street Journal when you need him? Several of Epstein's accusers
- 23:37have claimed the financier pedophile posed as a victorious secret
- 23:41talent scout in order to lure them into hotel rooms
- 23:44and assault them. Wesner claims he had no personal knowledge
- 23:48of Epstein's impropriety and cut ties with him in two
- 23:50thousand and seven when the allegations against him emerged. Such bs,
- 23:55such absolute bs, and less Wexner has nowhere near answered
- 24:02these questions in a manner that is fitting the charges,
- 24:11and he's been they just letting get away with it.
- 24:13Nobody's putting him up against the ropes, nobody's going hard.
- 24:17There's no reporters camped down in front of his house
- 24:19looking for answers. It's almost like they don't care, almost
- 24:23like they want to ignore the less Wexner aspect of
- 24:26this story. That makes me wonder why for Kai first
- 24:33entered Wexner's orbit in two thousand and four, when Bath
- 24:36and Body Works and Co. Bigelow began selling his line
- 24:39of home hair care products, which had until then been
- 24:42sold only in high end retailers like Neiman Marcus. One
- 24:47former Forkai executive told The Daily Beast that she advised
- 24:50against the deal, thinking it would diminish the brand's status,
- 24:54but that for Kai was set on it. It wouldn't
- 24:57have happened if Frederick wasn't behind it, and of that
- 25:00I'm certain, the executive said. So, I'm guessing that Epstein
- 25:04facilitated this, folks. I don't have any evidence of that,
- 25:07but Ockham's razor in all right. My guess is Epstein
- 25:11set up this arrangement, facilitated it, middle manned it, and
- 25:15ended up with a pretty penny out of it. The
- 25:19following year, private equity company Caterton Partners issued a celebratory
- 25:24press release announcing it had taken a majority stake and
- 25:28Frederick Fakai Incorporated. What the press release did not mention
- 25:32was that Catterton was backed in part by L Brands.
- 25:36In fact, both the L Brands executive and a former
- 25:39Facai executive said Wexner had considered buying the hair product
- 25:43company outright. Oh yeah, you know, out of all the companies. Huh,
- 25:48this is the one you didn't want to buy Vi
- 25:51Dal Sassoon or Paul Mitchell or insert productier. It was
- 25:56just Frederick Fakai's brand. Huh, okay, just a coincidence. L
- 26:02Brands did not have a direct investment, but did participate
- 26:05in a private equity fund which had stakes in a
- 26:07number of companies, including a controlling interest in Fakai. A
- 26:11spokesperson for Facai Brands told The Daily Beast L Brands
- 26:15never wound up buying Fakai's company. Instead, the company was
- 26:19purchased in two thousand and five by Procter and Gamble
- 26:22for a reported four hundred and forty million. The company,
- 26:27known for producing drug store standbys like Pantine and herbal Essence,
- 26:31tried and feld to introduce Fakai's product line to a
- 26:35mass market audience, dropping its price point as well as
- 26:39its prestige. Look, man, I don't I never understand these
- 26:44kinds of moves. When you have store brands like herbal
- 26:50Essence and pantein their parent company dives in and tries
- 26:53to buy a luxury product, why not just stick with
- 26:56the Nietzche market that you've worked with for so long
- 26:59and you've excelled in You don't see Hondi trying to
- 27:03buy a Bentley Bentley or Rolls Royce division. Do you know?
- 27:09They do what they know how to do. P and
- 27:13G eventually sold the company to designer Parfume, Perfumes and
- 27:17Lux Brands at an estimated three hundred and ninety million
- 27:20dollar loss. Yikes, talk about a bad business decision. A
- 27:26lawsuit filed by Facai employees this year claimed the Lux
- 27:29Brands had mismanaged the company and degraded the brand, turning
- 27:33its flagship location into a mall salon that does not
- 27:36offer the same luxurious environment that the clients had grown
- 27:40accustomed to. So Fakai made his dove, took a cash grab,
- 27:44dipped out, and according to employees, the place went from
- 27:49a unique, top of the line salon to your typical,
- 27:54you know, Walmart mall styles. Hairstyle is joint. Any changes
- 28:00of ownership in ten years and two changes of ownership
- 28:03in only three years, among other things, have made it
- 28:06difficult for plaintiffs to feel comfortable having a long term
- 28:09future at for Kai, the plaintiffs wrote. The lawsuit was
- 28:13settled out of court. I don't know too much about that,
- 28:16so I won't even try and dig deeper there. Last winter,
- 28:19for Kai bought his company back from designer Perfumes and
- 28:23lux Brands for an undisclosed sum, something he had reportedly
- 28:27been hoping to do for some time. In an interview
- 28:31with Women's Wear Daily, for Kai said he was eager
- 28:34to be in the driver's seat and expand his brand
- 28:36internationally and online. The brand needs a leader, he said,
- 28:41someone who knows what they're doing, who the team can respect. Well,
- 28:45you could start gaining that respect by speaking to the
- 28:48FBI about Jeffrey Epstein. You know, that's one way to
- 28:52do it. You know, I wonder if the FBI has
- 28:55even tried to have a sit down with this guy yet.
- 28:59Those are all the things things that could be happening
- 29:01behind the scenes that we don't know anything about, or
- 29:04none of it could be happening. As the trial gets
- 29:08closer and we move into a different phase of this
- 29:14investigation and this case, hopefully that will start to provide
- 29:20some more clarity. If you'd like to contact me, you
