Jeffrey Epstein made 9 donations, visits to MIT with sex offender status

The bulk of Jeffrey Epstein’s donations to MIT came after three university vice presidents learned about his status as a sex offender, an investigation found.

Epstein, the deceased financier who was convicted in 2008 of sex crimes involving underage victims, made 10 donations to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology between 2002 and 2017, totaling $850,000, according to the findings of a report by the law firm Goodwin Procter commissioned by the university. That was $50,000 more than university officials had previously said. Epstein also visited MIT nine times between 2013 and 2017.

**SNIP**

Nine of those donations came after Epstein’s conviction, the four-month investigation found. Those post-conviction gifts were all driven by either former MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito or Seth Lloyd, a professor of mechanical engineering, according to the report. Ito resigned in September, and MIT President L. Rafael Reif has placed Lloyd on paid administrative leave.

You will never find people who love money more than educated leftists.

They love it more than life itself.

“Let’s see here. HUGE donations that we desperately need for our programs and grad students. But he’s a sex offender. Hmmm...what to do? Let’s see what Plutus has to say about mammon.”

I think MIT should keep the donations. Epstein was only a serial rapist. It’s not like he was a Confederate general, or anything like that.

Epstein was a creepy creepy person- He wanted to ‘spread his DNA all over the world by having sex with as many women as possible, and having children as many times as possible- It was a domination kind of thing- Where he wanted to saturate the world with his bloodline-

There are some sensational claims that he planned to father dozens. If so it would have been a late start.

No acknowledged children, no claimed children, not even reports of abortions by the girls he had sex with.

Shot blanks? Early vasectomy? Meticulous condom use?

There were also indirect donations, to obscure Epstein’s involvement.

President Reif was supposedly unaware of Epstein’s donations.

Jonathan Gruber, of ObamaCare fame, is still a professor at MIT.

PS - what were the odds that so many things would occur to facilitate Epstein’s death?
