If money from a bad dude gets used for a good cause like science, I don't really have a problem with that.

He specifically cited scientists and tech people to intimidate his victims and persuade the police to leave him alone. You have to look at the other side of the relationship when someone donates. It's not just about taking the money, the person giving it is getting something in return and that's not always a good thing. In Epstein's case, it was tragic.
