The sophistry is in claiming that it is this article that is trying to somehow tie Epstein together with all that. MIT, along with a sizable subset of figures across academia, industry and government, have achieved that all by themselves. And the real underlying sophistry is the pretence that this was all to do with wanting Epstein's money or business connections and not to do with any of the other 'services' he provided. He very clearly kept his position of power and access because he pimped child prostitutes, not in spite of the fact.
