While the 80-year-old businessman has not commented publicly, his attorney, Brian Bieber, told NBC News, “We will respond in detail to the allegations after the Indictment is unsealed, and when appropriate, but plan to do so in the courthouse — not the media.” Despite Jeffries’ long career with one of the world’s most famous fashion retailers, many are questioning who he is.

He was born in Oklahoma.
Before he embarked on his long career with Abercrombie & Fitch, Mike worked for several businesses at the beginning of his career.
Mike began his career with Abercrombie & Fitch in 1992. He transformed the company’s image, which revitalized the brand after it had faced bankruptcy in 1976. In a 2006 interview with Salon, he said, “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive, all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends.”
