I was watching a big documentary of Epstein yesterday that’s really good (Epstein Filthy Rich) and an important point was Epstein spent a ton of effort in his later years donating and intermingling and injecting himself into academia in a reputation rehabilitation effort, he was inserting himself into all kinds of orgs and venues. Shame on Chomsky for not being more careful and I don’t know what, but Epstein was real pushy to get alongside such folks.

Yeah, if you check Jmail, you can find a bunch of random emails with all kinds of scientists who appear to be basically on call for when Epstein has a weird (often drug induced) science question. Stumbled on names that I know, but luckily only ever appeared on science funds emails, not "other" stuff

And it becomes clear that he funded a lot of research funds
