>"My point is that seven degrees of separation from Jeff Epstein seems like a distraction from the real issues here." Except that its not seven degrees of separation its exactly one degree: "Mr. Ito said during the meeting that he had visited Mr. Epstein’s Caribbean island twice to raise money, which he has pledged to return or donate to causes that support sex-trafficking victims."[1] And just to be clear that Ito was in fact aware: ">Nicholas Negroponte, a prominent architect who helped found the lab in 1985, told the crowd that he had met Mr. Epstein at least once since Mr. Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea in Florida for soliciting a minor for prostitution, and had advised Mr. Ito about the donations. I told Joi to take the money,” he said, “and I would do it again.” >"Also consider that Epstein's plea deal probably gave people like Ito and Gates some source of comfort." Wait, what? Why should anyone consider that? What kind of people take comfort in a wealthy person using their connections to bargain down a federal sax trafficking charge down to two felony "prostitution with a minor" charges?
