"In 2019, Joi Ito, former director of the MIT Media Lab, admitted that the lab had "received money through some of the foundations" that Epstein controlled."
"Ito resigned following a blockbuster New Yorker report detailing internal evidence that Ito and staff members accepted Epstein's funds and worked to hide their source even though Epstein had been blacklisted by MIT. Epstein was also alleged to have been consulted about the use of funds and utilized as an intermediary between the lab and other wealthy donors."
"Ito said he had taken $525,000 in funding from Epstein for the media lab, with MIT receiving $800,000 in total from Epstein over a period of 20 years." FULL STORY at above link.
