After numerous calls to resign from both his eponymous agency and his role as LA28 chair due to his association with charged and convicted child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Casey Wasserman finally announced he was making some changes. “I’m deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort,” he wrote on Friday. “It’s not fair to you.” So that’s why he’s going to step out of the public eye and donate his massive fortune to survivors of… oh, wait, no, sorry. He’s going to sell off his company and cash out with the private equity firm that already holds a majority stake. And with all that spare time, he’s going to devote his “full attention” to his volunteer role as the chair of the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, traveling the world representing the city of Los Angeles.
