Reporting on Lyndon Lea's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
Reporting based on released Epstein files described Lyndon Lea's continued friendship and correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein's release from prison in late 2009. The material included an email exchange concerning a New York dinner hosted by Jean-Luc Brunel. The issue concerns a person associated with the brand's ownership and chairmanship; the cited material does not allege that the John Varvatos brand itself engaged in criminal conduct.
