① MIT accepted donations from Epstein, but it has nothing to do with Bitcoin development. MIT publicly disclosed in 2019–2020 that it had accepted donations from Epstein. The official investigation revealed: - Total donations amounted to approximately $850,000 - Donations were directed to the Media Lab and specific professors' projects - Donations were labeled as anonymous - Funds were not allocated to cryptocurrency research or the DCI This is an issue of university governance and ethics, and MIT has publicly reflected on and apologized for it.
