12 sats \ 2 replies \ @petertodd 14 Nov \ on: Emails Reveal Jeffrey Epstein Money Financed Bitcoin Core Development bitcoin
So?
Epstein funded lots of stuff to try to show off to people around him. Bitcoin Core didn't know where the money ultimately came from. Which is true of any project accepting anonymous and pseudoanonymous donations. (Of course, he also had fully served his prison time at that point.)
I have no idea where much of the funding for OpenTimestamps comes from. Or Libre Relay.

The supermajority of donations are anonymous. That's ok.
It's very bizarre for a supposedly pro-privacy media outfit to make a big deal about this... Smells like clickbait.

did you read Jeremy Rubins (a cofounder of DCI and the original author behind CTV) email to Epstein by any chance? ...it's rather interesting...

Of course anonymous donations are ok. News of what gets de-anonymized, in the wrong hands, is what becomes problematic, n'est-ce pas?
I'm surprised you would say it's only click-bait, since this so easily could have been spun to sound much worse. Seems facts are facts, and that’s what was reported on.

Interesting. I can't comment one way or another on whether the man (?) was trying to show off, but I guess your theory seems plausible.
