They pay for the results they want.

  Maybe they do, but the article doesn't provide any data to back this up. I would have liked a sample size larger than one

    It'd be absolute career suicide for any researcher to have their work publicly bankrolled by Epstein or reveal to the public that their research was aiming for specific goals that Epstein was looking for.

  See I think the problem with this article is that it doesn't think it could actually make the case that Epstein could pay for results. So it basically tries to muddy the waters between "If you give a large chunk of money to a researcher you get to influence what they research" and "You get to influence the output of that research." Almost everyone agrees the latter is bad, but I think most people believe that you should be able to fund whatever research you want with your own money.
