Unfortunately, it sounds as though underage "models" were involved in the solicitation of donors.

"In 2015, as Epstein’s visit drew near, Cohen instructed his staff to insure that Zuckerman, if he unexpectedly arrived while Epstein was present, be kept away from the glass-walled office in which Epstein would be conducting meetings. According to Swenson, Ito had informed Cohen that Epstein “never goes into any room without his two female ‘assistants,’ ” whom he wanted to bring to the meeting at the Media Lab. Swenson objected to this, too, and it was decided that the assistants would be allowed to accompany Epstein but would wait outside the meeting room.

On the day of the visit, Swenson’s distress deepened at the sight of the young women. “They were models. Eastern European, definitely,” she told me. Among the lab’s staff, she said, “all of us women made it a point to be super nice to them. We literally had a conversation about how, on the off chance that they’re not there by choice, we could maybe help them.”

Ick, just ick.

Good on the women in the lab for recognizing the troubling situation for what it was. (Did the men think it was cool?! I would find it hard to believe men also didn't notice the young "assistants.")

Really! It's great they tried to help these young "assistants" of Epstein's. Women in academia are smart and usually no-nonsense. From what I've learned over the years, they have to put up with a lot of BS on the job themselves. I'm sure the men were pleased to meet the girls and are probably not happy about their women co-workers spilling the beans to Ronan Farrow.
 
MIT Media Lab director resigns after report on financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein

MIT Media Lab director resigns after report on financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein

A top official at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) resigned Saturday after acknowledging this past week that he went around the university's official designation of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein as a “disqualified” donor and continued to accept gifts from him for a prestigious research lab.

However, the New Yorker reported that Epstein, a Level 3 registered sex offender at the time, arranged at least $7.5 million in donations. That amount included a $2 million gift from Microsoft founder Bill Gates and a $5.5 million donation from investor Leon Black, with Epstein acting as a sort of proxy for the funds, according to emails dated October 2014 which were reviewed by The New Yorker.

.....

Evidently gates doesn’t care where the money comes from.

My ? Is who was able to write that amount off as donation on their taxes? Gates? Epstein?

Gates donates to Epstein's "charity" and then Epstein donates to MIT....both take a deduction?? IDK.

Jeffrey Epstein attended the 18th birthday of pal Prince Andrew’s daughter Princess Beatrice just days before he was arrested on child-prostitution charges in 2006, according to a new report.

Epstein flew in for the lavish, half-million-dollar soiree at Windsor Castle with his then-girlfriend and accused procuress Ghislane Maxwell, the Sun reported.

Also reportedly in attendance was rape-accused movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger and the company’s president, Mark Thompson, said in a companywide email Saturday that former Media Lab director Joi Ito has resigned from the board “effective immediately.”

The MacArthur Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation announced Ito’s resignation from their boards, as well.

The Palace row was so intense Prince Charles pleaded with his brother to say sorry - but according to a Palace source there was no apology.

Last night Buckingham Palace confirmed to The Sun on Sunday the dispute had occurred - but insisted the disagreement had been resolved.

A source told the Mail: “It was a verbal dispute. It was a work-related issue.

"The Duke got very cross that what he wanted wasn’t possible.”

The source added: “The Duke explained the situation to the Prince of Wales and left it at that.

"There was no apology because there was nothing to apologise for.

"The Duke maintains a good relationship with the Prince of Wales.

This, supposedly, is about Andrew yelling at a Palace aide. The argument was between the Andrew and the aide, and then the Charles said Andrew should apologize, but doesn't sound like Andrew did apologize. There is nothing that directly relates the argument to anything having to do with the sex scandal (though it could be. I'm sure nerves are frayed.).

Prince Andrew spotted with celebrity lawyer who specialises in reputation management

On Monday, the Prince was seen on the golf course with Paul Tweed, who has previously represented the Duke's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

Mr Tweed's website describes him as an expert in media and commercial litigation and reputation management, with offices in London, Belfast and Dublin.
It also says he has "obtained injunctive relief and apologies in the print, online and broadcast media, including one of the most comprehensive apologies ever broadcast by a national TV station."

A spokesperson for Bill Gates is denying claims made by The New Yorker that disgraced financier Jeffery Epstein helped guide money given by Gates to a program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

MIT considered Epstein a “disqualified” donor, because of his status as a convicted sex offender.

Investigative journalist Ronan Farrow documented how Epstein continued to bring in money for the school’s media lab, including a $2 million donation made by Gates in 2014. The story details how school officials worked to keep Epstein’s involvement hidden and adds that a representative for Gates also wrote expressing his wishes to keep a low profile.

In a statement sent to KUOW, a spokesperson for Gates acknowledged that the men knew each other, but denies any business or personal relationship between the two.

“Any claim that Epstein directed any programmatic or personal grantmaking for Bill Gates is completely false," the statement says.

Plus, she can drive a submarine! She could zip away anywhere.

(I'm know I dwell on her submarine skills, but I find that fact somehow really creepy - it will factor into something about this case, imo.)

jmo

It is creepy! If this case were made into a movie, the submarine “driving” skills of GM would be panned as unbelievable.

Here’s how she says she started (not sure any of this is believable):

In September 2012, Ghislaine founded the TerraMar Project, an environmentalist non-profit organisation dedicated to marine protection, thus partially fulfilling that career urge of her youth. ‘I’ve always joined various marine expeditions. I became more and more involved, then I decided to do it full-time about fifteen years ago.

I went around the world twice, I did pristine-reef work with Nat Geo, looking at the last remaining areas which have no human contact and helping to count sharks, I got licences to pilot submarines, pilot helicopters, pilot ROVs and AUVs, which are remote and tethered vehicles off the back of boats for doing underwater exploration, and I did lots of technical diving all over the world.’

Having an environmental organization is great for scamming, I know of a couple where people get donations and they do zero. They go around the world with money they get from all over. People love the idea that they are helping the environment.

The plastic in the ocean turns microscopic. It is not big items floating around, The Pacific gyre is tiny bits of plastic.

International waters belong to everyone. China is big into using that idea. I doubt if she is prepared to fight with China

Her ocean work, imo, was totally a scam. She sees the world's oceans as a resource to be exploited, not something that needs protection and respect.

I'm not an expert on her work, but the vibe I got from watching her give a presentation that was posted on youtube (might still be there, idk) is that her ocean project was weird and scammy. Made no sense from an environmental point of view, imo. Seemed like a "pretty" and convoluted way to control the narrative of exploitation, which now that we know her involvement with JE and the girls, is creepy. She exploits, but it's all "pretty" so it won't be questioned - that might be part of her M.O.

GM is creepy. Dangerous - and likely in hiding forever, imo.

BTW, am I the only one who feels Epstein’s story, from rags to riches, is strange? That he, with his guests, friends, islands, was someone’s “project”? That even with GM it looks more like a business venture?

No, you’re not the only one. It defies credulity that he came as far as he did “on his own.” But he could also have been a brilliant manipulator, using his early wealthy benefactors for his own purposes. And of course, they got something out of it too...ahem.
 
His type knows how to weasel in and get plenty of compensation.

What I have seen with a super wealthy guy is that he really has no friends. He has to buy people.
 
Jeffrey Epstein was held at the same Florida jail as one of his victims in 2008 when he did time as part of a cushy plea deal, according to a report Tuesday.

Officials at the Palm Beach County Jail were told to keep Epstein and the unidentified woman — who was being held in a drug intervention dorm — “separate” from each other, the Daily Mail reported.

They were also told to keep the dilemma under wraps.

“The fact that they are both here should not be ‘advertised,'” Lt. Mark Chamberlain advised his lieutenants in a Dec. 17, 2008 email obtained by the outlet. “Please ensure they are kept separate at all times, with emphasis on medical, visitation and GED classes.”

Chamberlain’s email was in response to one from Capt. David Sleeth, who informed the jail’s Warden Tammy Waldrop and others that he had received a call from FBI Agent Nesbitt Kyskendoll about the Epstein and the female inmate.

“Agent Kuyskendoll wanted us to know that inmate [redacted] was concerned that she may run into inmate Epstein being that he was being housed at the same facility,” Sleeth’s email said. “I explained to Agent Kuyskendoll that the male and female inmates are housed in separate locations but as an extra precaution I would have a keep separate order placed in their file.”
