A really interesting story, the more you go on with reading the more the details of this story become impressive. From the beginning there is evidence and information that makes us understand the quality of the article and how credible it is. I'm glad someone talked about this story and that the author managed to tell it in such a detailed way.

This was a fascinating investigative look at the philanthropic relationship between Epstein and M.I.T. Media Lab. At first, I felt that author Ronan Farrow was being sensationalist. But as the story continued to develop and more evidence of misconduct and intentional disguising of Epstein's donations emerged, I am convinced that this is a worthwhile story and am glad someone is telling it.
