Wait a second, is the implication that anyone associated with him was also somehow tied to his illegal sexual activities? That seems like a stretch, and this seems like an attempt to smear anyone even remotely attached to him. Its entirely possible and likely he gave money to scientists and they had no further connection to him beyond that. Buzzfeed is such garbage, how is it reaching the front page of hacker news?
- msghacq 7y agoMany of these people traveled on Epstein's jets and visited his houses repeatedly. There's a lot more here than accepting money from a sex offender (which in itself is really awful).
- spoovy 7y ago"accepting money from a sex offender (which in itself is really awful)" No it isn't. Not if you didn't know he was a sex offender at the time. How do you know you have never accepted a grant, a paycheck, a contract, whatever, from a sex offender? You can't possibly know if you have or not. And if you did find out one day that if fact you have, do you owe a grovelling fake apology to every gutter press "journalist" that spams your inbox for ever more?
- nscalf 7y agoExactly this, we seem to have a lot of "guilty by association" going on in society lately, but I think it will pass. There have been a few waves of extreme responses to limited real things that pass after a year or two lately.
