Mechanical engineering professor Seth Lloyd says he is sorry,
it was a mistake to take the $225,000 “research money,” a mistake to take a
personal gift of $60,000 and a mistake not to tell the university about the
money.
Yeah, just like a murderer
who says he’s made bad decisions, his decisions hurt some people, but he has
learned from his mistakes and he won’t make those mistakes again.
And, Epstein told Lloyd he
was sorry for what he had done, “and assured me he would not re-offend.”
“Re-offend.” Such a nice way
of saying he would no longer have sex with underage girls, nor would he provide
underage girls to his wealthy and powerful friends.
To reinforce his confession,
the MIT professor said he “participated in a system of privilege and
entitlement.” That means he was in with a bunch of rich white men.
Overall, Epstein gave $850,000
to the famed university.
“Three MIT vice presidents were also aware of
Epstein's donations to the MIT Media Lab and his convicted sex offender status
in 2013, the report said. The report does not specify if they were disciplined.”
MIT says it was OK for the university to take
the money, because "MIT had no policy or processes for handling
controversial donors in place at the time,” meaning “the decision to accept
Epstein's post-conviction donations cannot be judged to be a policy violation."
But, “it is clear that the decision was the result of collective and
significant errors in judgment that resulted in serious damage to the MIT
community."
Ah. The famous “errors in judgment.” Just
like “I’ve made some bad decisions.”
There is no telling the depth of Epstein’s influence,
nor the number of people he paid off with 14- and 15-year-old girls.
