Looks like Joi Ito saw this coming and pre-emptively put up that post where he claimed he didn't know of Epstein's wrongdoings while happily accepting his money. Well..cat's out of the bag now.
- curiousgal 7y ago> cat's out of the bag Perhaps I am too naive but what is wrong with accepting a donation from a person you didn't know was a criminal?
- i_am_nomad 7y agoNothing. But that is certainly, provably not the situation here.
- ethank 7y agoHe didn't do a basic Google search to find all the articles about his conviction for child molestation and solicitation?
- cjbprime 7y agoIt sounds like you haven't read the article, which is about covering up donations from someone you knew was a disqualified donor because he was a pedophile, because your own staff kept telling you he was and that you should stop talking to him.

- rst 7y agoNot quite. The big news here is that Ito's denials were apparently false -- that Ito was fully aware of what kind of stigma would be associated with Epstein's money, and why, and dealt with it by concealing the source and taking the money. As documented by the email trails that someone gave the reporter.
