The Daily Mail [UK] –
MIT Media Lab director RESIGNS after it emerged he secretly took $1.7MILLION in donations from Epstein – far more than the $800,000 the school apologized for – and disguised them by saying they came from an anonymous donor or ‘Voldemort’

  • MIT took an extra $900,000 from Epstein than it admitted accepting
  • The admission came from Joi Ito, the school’s Media Lab Director, on Wednesday
  • The school tried to disguise the payments by saying they were from an anonymous donor 
  • Now, the school’ senior bosses are looking into Ito’s conduct  
  • MIT President President Rafael Reif apologized to Epstein’s victims in August
  • He said the funds totaling $800K went to MIT Media Lab or Professor Seth Lloyd 
  • Two MIT staff members resigned in August around the time it became public
  • One of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts, claims to have slept with the late MIT professor Marvin Minsky

    This article gets into MIT. But it says Epstein was protected by his high falutin’ associates. We disagree…. he was/is protected by the blackmail material he had on world’s elites [opinion]. – FC

    Exposing Epstein’s allies

    “Epstein’s enablers flew on his jets and visited his island and did multi-million-dollar deals with him even after he was convicted and jailed on a charge of soliciting underage girls for prostitution. Now they are starting to be held to account for their complicity.”

    Citing Epstein scandal, MIT workers demand Reif testify at 401(k) trial
    https://tinyurl.com/y43fcc2l

    “The group of current and former MIT workers who are suing the school over its 401(k) plan won’t get Fidelity Investments CEO Abigail Johnsonon the stand. But they’re still pushing to get MIT President L. Rafael Reif to testify at next week’s trial, and they’re using the ballooning Jeffrey Epstein scandal in pursuit of that goal.

    The plaintiffs made a court filing early Monday arguing that Reif should be required to testify, based on his response to Friday’s New Yorker exposé about the MIT Media Lab’s ties to Epstein. The New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow reported that the Media Lab knew about Epstein’s sex offense conviction and tried to hide his ties to donations it accepted.”
