I think this is a good analysis.
Makes me think that in the future these organizations are still going to accept the money but bring in a "fall guy" to accept the blame when the anonymous donor is found out.
I don't think Joi would have done this personally. He's a smart guy.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but are you saying there's a conspiracy to cast Joi as the fall guy and he's going along with it? I highly doubt that's the case. He may be smart, but that doesn't automatically make him ethical or socially aware. It also appears he gained quite a lot personally by dealing with Epstein.
- paggle 7y agoA lot of smart people, when they acquire power, start to behave recklessly. It’s not necessarily irrational — powerful people are almost never held to account for their crimes, so you see people getting life in prison for robbing a liquor store but a $3 million fine for creating the opioid epidemic. So maybe it’s because they’re smart that they behave recklessly — because really, Joi Ito is going to be fine, and for every one of him there are 1000 that nothing happens to at all.
