Director of MIT's Media Lab steps down over Epstein ties

The director of a prestigious research lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology resigned Saturday, and the school’s president ordered an independent investigation amid an uproar over the lab’s ties to late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein killed himself in jail Aug. 10 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Federal prosecutors in New York had charged the 66-year-old with sex trafficking and conspiracy, alleging he sexually abused girls over several years in the early 2000s.In a letter to the MIT community Saturday, Reif called the allegations in the New Yorker “deeply disturbing.”

Reif said last month that the university took about $800,000 from Epstein over 20 years. That announcement followed theof two prominent researchers from Media Lab over revelations the lab and Ito took money from Epstein after he served time a decade ago for sex offenses involving underage girls. Last week, Ito said Epstein gave him $525,000 for the Media Lab and $1.2 million for his own investment funds.

MIT needs to confiscate his computer.

Wait, there's still places where once the 'light' comes on the 'cockroaches run and hide?

That picture though

It’s going to take decades to disarm pedocracy. MIT is a good place to start, but it’s systemic. It’s time we talk about the men and women organizing child abuse. Eugenics is child abuse/pedophilia, never forget that or you’ll miss the whole f***ing point of what they’re doing.

The question is did he give it knowing what was going on ? If not you should leave him alone.

What other connections does he have with Epstein- he needs to be fully investigated

Hey you incorrectly reported that Epstein killed himself. Gross Factual Error.

One down.....
