Proof (Archived Original Letter): Bill Gates Lied to the New Yorker, BBC and Others About Connection of MIT Money to Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Their Close Relationship

[This was published just 2 days before the media started attacking Dr. Richard Stallman]

Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Gates and MIT Larry Cohen used to work for Microsoft, but then he went to work for Gates directly



Summary: As the article ("The anatomy of Bill Gates' Jeffrey Epstein-facilitated MIT donations") put it at the time (just 2 days before Dr. Stallman received all the heat at MIT), "Secrecy in the funding of academic programs is highly problematic, as University of Virginia professor Siva Vaidhyanathan explains in a long Twitter thread. "Companies and the billionaires who run them are always bending research agendas (and sometimes even results) to their interests," he writes. "Anonymity would prevent any examination or accountability."" But there are more high-level Microsoft links to Mr. Epstein; "Hoffman invited both former MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito and Epstein to an August 2015 dinner in Palo Alto with Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel. He tells Axios that he invited Epstein at Ito's behest, and only because Ito vouched for the convicted criminal, saying that he had successfully cleared MIT's vetting process." In 2016 the article "Bill Gates talked to Reid Hoffman about being on Microsoft's board of directors" was published. "Furthermore," it notes, "Gates and Hoffman have a lot in common: They both hold board seats and advisory roles, and no other formal status or day-to-day obligations, at the tech companies they founded."
