Ohio State OB-GYN received payments from Jeffrey Epstein’s firm, documents show
The latest batch of Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice showed an Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center OB-GYN receiving payments from the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s firm in the early 2000s.
Multiple documents, including FedEx receipts, mention Dr. Mark Landon, the chair of OSU’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In an email between Epstein and an attorney he worked with, Darren Indyke, Epstein wrote that they were paying Landon $75,000 a year. The email didn’t mention what they were paying Landon for.
Indyke wrote to Epstein in 2006 and said “Are we still paying Mark Landon?… Eric was dealing with this, so I am not sure what was decided when the previous payment was made. Landon’s agreement requires quarterly payments of $30k to be made to Landon on the 15th of January, April, July and October. The previous payment made to Landon was for $25,000 and not $30,000. The contract is terminable at will on 15 days’ prior notice. Is NYSG to make payment to Landon by January 15th and if so for $25K or $30K? Please advise.”
“75 per year,” Epstein responded.
The FedEx receipts date back to 2001, but don’t indicate what was being sent in the packages.
In a statement sent to WOSU, Landon denies providing any care to Epstein or his victims.
“I was a paid consultant for the New York Strategy Group regarding potential biotech investments from 2001 to 2005. I had no knowledge of any criminal activities; I find them reprehensible and I feel terrible for Epstein’s victims,” Landon said.
The New York Strategy Group was Epstein’s money management firm. Epstein died by suicide in a jail cell while awaiting trial for allegedly sex trafficking underage girls.
For years, Epstein worked for Central Ohio billionaire Les Wexner, who the medical center is named for. Epstein allegedly stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the billionaire.
At the time, he was paying Landon, Epstein owned land in New Albany which was sold to him by Wexner.
Wexner is set to testify before Congress this month about his close relationship with Epstein.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Central Ohio family has filed a lawsuit against a Hilliard funeral home after their mother was accidentally cremated, despite plans for her to be buried.
According to court documents, Tidd Funeral Home cremated Nancy Anders in June of last year against the family’s wishes. The lawsuit states Anders died a week earlier in May.
The family says Anders had planned and prepaid for funeral arrangements two years before her death to be buried with her late husband. The arrangements did not include cremation because, the family says, she did not believe in the concept.
The lawsuit says the family was told a week after her death that she had been accidentally cremated. It also accuses Tidd Funeral Home of cremating her even though the proper authorization form was never signed.
The family says they have suffered physical illness and emotional trauma and are seeking $25,000 in damages. They are also asking for the case to be decided by a jury.
ABC 6 reached out to the funeral home for comment but had not heard back.
