I think the information portrayed here is less favorable to Ito.

  Quite. Though Zuckerman doesn't detail what was inappropriate about the Lab's relationship with Epstein (besides "Epstein"), Zuckerman does say that they tried to warn Ito about Epstein five years ago -- that should have been sufficient to cause the Lab to separate from Epstein then.

    > Joi told me that evening that the Media Lab’s ties to Epstein went much deeper, and included a business relationship between Joi and Epstein, investments in companies Joi’s VC fund was supporting, gifts and visits by Epstein to the Media Lab and _by Joi to Epstein’s properties_. > As the scale of Joi’s involvement with Epstein became clear to me, I began to understand that I had to end my relationship with the MIT Media Lab. Emphasis added This doesn't go into enormous detail, but I wouldn't say he "doesn't detail what was inappropriate".

      I'd missed that! Visiting Epstein's properties, especially his island, makes one radioactive.
