Wexner's operation was a groundbreaking model for vertically-integrated business.
He owned it ALL.
The trucks, the aircraft, the manufacturers, the union men doing the heavy lifting, the entire logistics chain.
As soon as somebody got blackmail on the guy, Wexner lost control of his big machine.
Pretty simple to go from the "product" being clothing to any contraband the dark side wanted
Don't forget the money-laundering side of the operation which would have doubled its criminal "value"
The geographic location almost smack in the middle of the continental US was perfect
Epstein's network got tacked onto it
So did all the cartels
Some very big names and operations stand to lose big money if it all goes down.
