Robert Morosky was Vice-Chairman of The Limited, Leslie Wexner's retail empire, and served as Wexner's second-in-command during the company's explosive growth in the 1980s. Known internally as "Number Two," Morosky held significant operational power within the organization and was deeply embedded in the company's financial and strategic operations. His name appears in a 1991 Columbus Police Department Organized Crime Bureau intelligence memo investigating the 1985 murder of attorney Arthur Shapiro and Wexner's alleged organized crime connections.

Arthur Shapiro was murdered on March 6, 1985, one day before he was scheduled to testify before a federal grand jury about tax evasion charges. The Columbus PD intelligence memo documented that "Arthur Shapiro was reportedly in direct contact with Vice-Chairman Robert Morosky ('Number Two') at The Limited."

In June 1987, approximately two years after Shapiro's murder, Morosky "abruptly and inexplicably left his employment with The Limited amid rumors of friction with Les Wexner," according to the Columbus Police memo. Immediately after leaving The Limited, Morosky appeared in the hierarchy of Campeau Corporation's Allied Stores. Morosky's 1987 departure from The Limited coincided with Jeffrey Epstein's deepening involvement in Wexner's financial operations.
