  It isn’t like it was very googable until a few months ago. Now I guess all these big labs will just start running criminal background checks on anyone who wants to donate a bunch of money.

    What? He was on the sex offender registry in multiple states, with several high profile pieces written in various media outlets. That's not some deep dark secret you have to dig to uncover.

      Besides Florida, what other states? Also, I never even heard about this guy until a few months ago, it obviously wasn’t high enough media profile for my radar. What did his Wikipedia page look like last year? Edit: I checked Wikipedia from 2012. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeffrey_Epstein&oldid=479434105 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeffrey_Epstein&o... All the allegations and convictions were listed, so I’ll take back my comment and admit this was a failure of minimal due diligence (or outright not caring).
