playerThe Blackmail Network
A famous Harvard geneticist kept raising money with Jeffrey Epstein even after his sex-crime conviction.
Who they are
George Church, a prominent Harvard geneticist.
What they do
The engine places him as the modern scientific endpoint of a pipeline where private fortunes fund genetics research.
How it works
He was in Epstein's scientific circle, met him at least six times in 2014, and kept fundraising with him after Epstein's conviction (later publicly apologizing in 2019); in 2021 he co-founded the de-extinction company Colossal Biosciences.
Why it matters
He illustrates how tainted private money flows into cutting-edge genetics through respected scientists.
The engine's record — word for word
Harvard geneticist; on Epstein's scientific advisory orbit, met Epstein >=6 times in 2014 and continued raising funds with him post-conviction (publicly acknowledged + apologized, CBS 2019). Co-founded de-extinction firm Colossal Biosciences (2021). The modern scientific beneficiary terminus of the private-fortune eugenics-funding pipeline.
