Jeffrey Epstein Gets Dumped

New Mexico governor and presidential hopeful Bill Richardson is giving campaign contributions from pervy billionaire Jeffrey Epstein to charity.

Writes Steve Terrell in the New Mexican, "Epstein, who owns a 26,700-square-foot hilltop mansion in southern Santa Fe County, allegedly had sex with five teenagers as young as 14 in his Palm Beach home after luring them to give him massages."

What will Harvard do with Epstein's millions?

Probably, you know, keep it, given that Harvard isn't a politician running for office and received the money well before any of these allegations came to light (just like other politicians who received money from Epstein years ago aren't returning money they've already spent). What would be the argument for returning the gift? He's a sick man, for sure, but it's not like blood money or anything.

Don't give it back, but maybe announce that Harvard is not interested if Epstein is one of Peretz's on-hold $100M men upset by the firing of his friend Larry Summers.

I agree with poster 1, since Harvard couldn't possibly be engaged in any foul play, the money is better off in Harvard's hands than in his.

In fact, I agree with all of you—but I do think Harvard should acknowledge the problem in some way.

The person who should acknowledge this "in some way" is Henry Rosovsky, who for many years cultivated Epstein and promoted his standing inside and outside Harvard. The issue is not money (I agree with the first posters on this point), but reputation. When Harvard officials go out of their way to associate the institution with someone like this, they should be prepared to do something to disassociate it.
