MIT received donations from Epstein totaling at least $850,000, some after his 2008 conviction. The MIT Media Lab, led by Joi Ito, accepted funds from Epstein with knowledge of his criminal record. An internal investigation led to Ito's resignation in 2019. Seth Lloyd, a quantum computing professor, also accepted funding.
