Casey Wasserman was the consummate LA powerbroker. Now his links to Ghislaine Maxwell threaten his legacy

Hollywood scion and talent agent exchanged sexual emails with Epstein associate

Casey Wasserman was born into Hollywood royalty, and for much of his life - until the release of the Epstein files brought his world crashing down - he appeared as formidable and untouchable as the entertainment industry moguls of old.

He wasn't just the man charged with organizing the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles - a position he still holds, despite widespread calls for his resignation. He was a consummate power broker, someone who controlled the careers of prominent musicians, actors and athletes through the talent agency named after him, cultivated relationships in local and national politics, raised money for key election contests, endowed civic buildings and, through his family wealth, gave lavishly to social causes.
