BREAKING - MIT's $100 Bitcoin Mystery

In 2014, MIT gave every undergraduate student one hundred dollars worth of Bitcoin — funded by anonymous donors and wealthy alumni. The MIT Bitcoin Project became a landmark moment in cryptocurrency history. But newly released EFTA documents reveal that Jeffrey Epstein was deeply embedded in the project from its earliest stages. Emails show Joi Ito briefing Epstein on the project months before launch, Linda Stone introducing student organizer Jeremy Rubin directly to Epstein, and a conference call between Epstein and the US Treasury Department with the MIT Bitcoin Project listed as the first agenda item. In May 2016, Rubin emailed Epstein about a forty thousand dollar allocation from MIT Bitcoin Project funds, seeking advice on structure. The anonymous donor list for the five hundred thousand dollar airdrop fund was never publicly disclosed. This episode examines the documented evidence of Epstein's involvement and asks the question three thousand one hundred and eight MIT students never thought to ask: where did that one hundred dollars actually come from?Sources for this episode are available at: https://nbn.fm/epstein-files/episode/bn5About The Epstein FilesThe Epstein Files is an AI-generated podcast analyzing the 3.5 million pages released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA).
