From: Joi Ito a Subject: Fwd: Reuters inquiry Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 10:11:57 PM To: Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation©gmail.com> Hi Jeffrey. This came in to my press team. The news about your funding the restoration of the Rothko murals is obviously not true. If the reporter contacted you, would it be possible for you to somehow confirm this fact to this reporter. Also, can you have your web person take down any reference to the MIT Media Lab on your site. That would be very helpful. Should we give the reporter your email or direct them to someone else? Thanks. - Joi > Begin forwarded message: > Date: January 23, 2015 at 5:04:21 PM EST > Subject: Fwd: Reuters inquiry > From: Alexandra Kahn > To: Joi Ito > Forwarded message -------- > From: <011/01101.1PalliMMIRIPIPIRIPRIEFIRP> > Date: Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 4:34 PM > Sub'ect: Reuters in ui > To > Hi Alexandra, > Is there someone from MIT or the MIT media lab who is available for an interview about the philanthropist Jeffrey Epstein? > • I'm a reporter with Reuters, and I'm working on a story about Mr. Epstein's foundation. He has been in the news recently in connection with a federal court case in Florida, and according to his website, he was a donor last year to both MIT and the MIT Media Lab.
