Hermes CEO Axel Dumas stated he resisted multiple attempts by Jeffrey Epstein to meet with him, believing he was a target of the financier, whom he described as a "financial predator." Dumas noted that these approaches occurred during a takeover battle involving LVMH. He emphasized Hermes' refusal to engage with Epstein, who had a notorious reputation, as evidenced by emails from Epstein requesting meetings and design work for his private jet.
