Jeffrey Epstein gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to MIT's Media Lab, and its founder said he would accept the donations again if given the chance

'If you wind back the clock, I would still say, 'Take it,'' MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte reportedly said in an all-hands meeting.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology accepted over $800,000 in donations from Jeffrey Epstein's foundations, according to a letter sent to faculty on August 23 by MIT president L. Rafael Reif. The admission comes amid multiple resignations from MIT Media Lab faculty who quit after learning of the Media Lab's director Joichi Ito's connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Ito reportedly accepted over $200,000 in funding through Epstein's charities.
