> Did the Media Lab help Mr. Epstein rape more children in any way by taking the money? Yes it did. Epstein’s empire was built on high society connections which he established through his connections to influential and publicly visible leaders in science. Epstein’s support of the media lab allowed him to attract high profile pedophiles (royalty, presidents, more that we will probably never know) to his island parties where he developed the connections that protected him and kept him above the law.

Is that how Epstein’s business worked? It hasn’t been clear to me in the media that he actually made money on that.

  I wasn’t referring to his business. I was referring to his child sex trafficking activities.

    I feel like punishing MIT for taking money should really take a back seat to punishing literally anyone else involved in this case.

> Epstein’s support of the media lab allowed him to attract high profile pedophiles That sounds ridiculous and needs explaining. "Oh, hi, fellow super rich pedophile, I wouldn't have contacted you, but then I saw you donated to the media lab... let's get together on your private island". No.

  Except that it is pretty much exactly what happened...

    Since he was well connected before that, you'll have to provide some evidence for the media-lab-pedophile-recruitment claim.
