Of course! There was a nice discussion on hacker news recently about Martin Nowak's research on this topic that was largely funded by Jeffrey Epstein, and as a result was likely designed to serve as a foil for a billionaire convicted child-rapist who was facing impending federal charges at the time for the sex-trafficking of minors: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25442060 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25442060 Nowak's punishment for his role in aiding and abetting an accused sex-trafficker? https://harvardmagazine.com/2021/03/martin-nowak-sanctioned-for-jeffrey-epstein-involvement https://harvardmagazine.com/2021/03/martin-nowak-sanctioned-... Claudine Gay has decided that Martin Nowak only needs to serve two years of probation for openly aiding and abetting a convicted child rapist and accused child sex-trafficker by conspiring with fellow accused child molester and Harvard law professor (and also Epstein best buddy) Alan "Dershbag" Dershowitz to help Mr. Epstein evade prosecution on pending federal racketeering charges ... in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars in donations to Harvard from Epstein's estimated $500 million estate, that was laundered in part through other members of Mr. Epstein's billionaire child sex-trafficking ring that included Les Wexner, Leon Black, and Glenn Dubin. Hopefully there are a few like-minded students at Harvard that will keep the pressure alive on their university's administration like these brave souls over at MIT are doing: https://thetech.com/2021/02/25/mit-administration-epstein-op-ed https://thetech.com/2021/02/25/mit-administration-epstein-op... Nowak used to write papers on how punishment "serves no noble purpose" as part of the interference with the legal process that Nowak was running for Epstein. Actually, one of the principal reasons why the courts can sentence folks like Epstein and Nowak under the federal RICO statute for up to a lifetime sentence in prison, in addition to seizing his assets (and possibly those of Harvard and MIT as well) under the criminal forfeiture provision of that statute, is not just for "punishment." It's for deterrence. The message that law enforcement sends by not prosecuting Epstein's co-conspirators at schools like Harvard and MIT, that include Nowak and several others, is that there are no real legal consequences for this type of behavior. And so what again we see here is a prime example of how the real discrimination that takes place in the United States judicial system regarding who gets punished and who escapes scot-free has less to do with skin color than it does with the size of your bank account, and in Nowak's case, the size of your culpable employer's bank account too.
