Late Friday night, Ronan Farrow published an expose in The New Yorker chronicling the MIT Media Lab’s acceptance of money from recently deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and its efforts to cover up that it was taking donations from a convicted pedophile. One of the more notable revelations in the story is that Epstein helped direct donations from Bill Gates:
Perhaps most notably, Epstein appeared to serve as an intermediary between the lab and other wealthy donors, soliciting millions of dollars in donations from individuals and organizations, including the technologist and philanthropist #Bill_Gates and the investor #Leon_Black. According to the records obtained by The New Yorker and accounts from current and former faculty and staff of the media lab, #Epstein was credited with securing at least $7.5 million in donations for the lab, including two million dollars from Gates and $5.5 million from Black, gifts the e-mails describe as “directed” by Epstein or made at his behest.
