Jeffrey Epstein, a name synonymous with controversy and scandal, continues to be intertwined with the world of cryptocurrency. Despite his legal troubles and death in 2019, new information has emerged suggesting his involvement in early crypto development. Documents uncovered by the House Oversight Committee reveal that Epstein financially supported Joichi Ito’s work at MIT on digital currency innovation, which included funding Bitcoin Core development through MIT’s Digital Currency Initiative (DCI). Further investigation into Epstein’s network reveals connections to prominent figures like Brock Pierce, who was involved with organizations like BlockOne, EOS, and the Bitcoin Foundation. This intricate web of ties raises questions about Epstein’s motivations for supporting these early cryptocurrency projects.
