Epstein’s Secret $100K-a-Year Payments to Ohio State Doctor Revealed

Jeffrey Epstein Emails Expose $25K Payments to Ohio State University Gynecologist — Les Wexner Named in Billing Trail

Freshly disclosed documents have brought renewed attention to Jeffrey Epstein’s extensive financial network, revealing that the late financier authorized recurring $25,000 quarterly payments to the former chair of gynecology at Ohio State University. The payments, totaling $100,000 annually, were reportedly made while the physician held a prominent leadership position at the university’s medical center.

The records, reviewed by NBC4, suggest the payments were not isolated transactions but part of a structured and ongoing arrangement. In an April 11, 2005 email, an associate identified as Eric contacted Epstein to request approval for what he described as “Dr. Landon’s $25k quarterly payment.” Hours later, a follow-up message indicated that Epstein’s company had already billed Les and Abigail Wexner in advance, noting that this process had been followed in prior years. The language of the correspondence points to a recurring financial pattern rather than a one-time consulting fee.

While the payments themselves are clearly documented, the publicly available records do not fully explain the specific services being provided in exchange. That lack of detail has fueled questions about the purpose of the arrangement, particularly given the broader context of Epstein’s criminal history and his network of influential associates.

The gynecologist’s name is Mark Landon. He is still a physican at OSU specializing in maternal fetal medicine. He focuses on high risk pregnancies. What a coincidence given the number of Epstein victims used for reproducing.

In addition to the quarterly transfers, shipping records reveal that between June 2001 and April 2005, the Ohio State physician received at least ten separate packages from Epstein or individuals connected to him. Documentation shows that more than $200 was spent mailing items to the doctor’s residence in Columbus, Ohio. The contents of those shipments were not described in the available files, leaving further gaps in the public record.

At the time the payments were being made, retail billionaire Les Wexner was widely described as Epstein’s only publicly known client. Epstein had been entrusted with overseeing significant aspects of Wexner’s fortune, accumulated through leadership of The Limited and Victoria’s Secret. Wexner’s name is prominently attached to Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center, where the gynecologist has worked since 1987.

The newly released documents also include references to Epstein discussing gynecological appointments and coordinating medical visits for young women. Most physicians mentioned in those communications were not identified by name. Importantly, there is no indication in the released material that the Ohio State doctor was involved in or connected to any of Epstein’s criminal conduct or alleged victims.

In response to the disclosures, Dr. Mark B. Landon issued a statement denying any clinical relationship with Epstein or individuals tied to his crimes. He stated that he did not provide medical treatment to Epstein or his victims. Instead, he explained that from 2001 to 2005, he served as a paid consultant for the New York Strategy Group, offering advice related to potential biotechnology investments. Landon added that he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal activities at the time and described those actions as reprehensible, expressing sympathy for the victims.

Despite the renewed attention, Landon remains employed at Ohio State University. The institution recently named a visitor space at the Wexner Medical Center in honor of him and his wife — the Mark B. Landon, MD, and Jane Landon Visitor Lounge.

Epstein’s close professional and personal relationship with Wexner ended in 2007. Wexner later stated that he discovered Epstein had misappropriated substantial sums of money as allegations of sexual misconduct were emerging in Florida. In a 2019 public statement, Wexner expressed regret, saying he was embarrassed and deeply disappointed that he had trusted Epstein.

Epstein’s rise to prominence began in the mid-1980s after leaving a teaching job at Manhattan’s Dalton School. Despite lacking a college degree, he transitioned into high-level financial advising and eventually secured power of attorney over Wexner’s finances. That association elevated Epstein into elite business and political circles — connections that would later draw intense scrutiny during federal investigations.

Although no criminal allegations have been brought against the Ohio State physician in connection with Epstein’s crimes, the documented payments and correspondence once again underscore how far Epstein’s financial relationships extended. The disclosures have reignited debate about oversight, transparency, and accountability within institutions touched by Epstein’s network — questions that continue to surface years after his death.
