Having consulted for the financial sector I know they screen for reputation damage using services such as [1]. Do institutes such as M.I.T. have a donation due-diligence process incorporating similar data-sourcing/services for vetting donations or do they just wing it?

- CrazyStat 7y agoAccording to the Twitter thread, MIT had Epstein flagged so they wouldn't take any money from him. Ito and his team got around this by marking all Epstein's donations as anonymous and carefully hiding him from the University. I don't have a dog in this race but it seems to me that Ito has to go. Poor judgement in accepting donations from Epstein is one thing, but hiding it from the University and lying about it cannot be acceptable.
- PeterStuer 7y agoInteresting and thanks for the clarification. Now if the donations were so successfully anonymized as to fool the MIT administration, wouldn't that also neutralize Epstein's reputation gains from the donations? (I'm not trying to excuse the people involved, just trying to understand the dynamics more)
