Faces significant reputational risk and potential stock volatility due to its association with founder Les Wexner, who is deeply involved in the Epstein scandal and is scheduled to testify before Congress.

The company faces significant reputational and headline risk due to its founder, Les Wexner, being linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case in a congressional hearing. This could harm brand perception, lead to consumer boycotts, and create downward pressure on the stock price.

Founder Leslie Wexner being listed as a co-conspirator in Epstein files could lead to renewed scrutiny and potential legal repercussions for any entities still associated with him.

Highlighted as an example of 'short-term absurdity' where it became a top-performing stock for one day due to Black Friday sales, despite the long-term decline of mall-based retail.
