"Casey Wasserman is selling his high-profile sports marketing and talent agency after his correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell surfaced in the Epstein files. The entertainment executive informed the Wasserman Group's 4,000 staffers about the sale in a memo on Friday. "At this moment, I believe that I have become a distraction to those efforts," he wrote. "That is why I have begun the process of selling the company, an effort that is already underway.""
"In January, the Justice Department began to release more than 3 million pages of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. The names of numerous prominent people, such as Bill Gates and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, have shown up in the documents. While appearing in the files does not mean a person is associated with Epstein's crimes, some have nonetheless faced a public fallout by association."
"In Wasserman's case, the documents revealed that the entertainment mogul flew on Epstein's jet with several people, including former US President Bill Clinton. He also exchanged emails with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking girls for Epstein. Wasserman's emails with Maxwell were dated 2003, long before police began to investigate Epstein and over a decade before police arrested Maxwell."
