>'In an email in October 2014 — six years after Mr. Epstein had pleaded guilty to a sex charge involving a minor in Florida — Mr. Ito wrote that a $2 million gift from Mr. Gates was “directed by Jeffrey Epstein.” Peter Cohen, then a development official at the lab, wrote in a subsequent email, “For gift recording purposes, we will not be mentioning Jeffrey’s name as the impetus for this gift.”

Mr. Cohen, now the director of development for computer and data science initiatives at Brown University, did not respond to messages seeking comment on Saturday.'

While Ito is rightfully being held to account I think it's important to consider all the other enablers who condoned and accepted these arrangements as well.

More names will come out. But only smaller, if any, heads will roll.

The world has given me far more reasons to be pessimistic.
