Sure, okay, agreed that 6 million is not much on a global scale. But you can't be serious if you think 6 million in the hands of one person can't be used for some serious damage. You won't be able to buy a country but you could, i dont know, buy a really nice lab, and then use it to research eugenics or something.

Not a big fan of these 'drop in the bucket' arguments. A breakthrough scientific idea can cost anywhere between 0 dollars and a billion dollars. We don't want that breakthrough to be in the field of eugenics.

Of course $6 million can do a lot of damage in the wrong hands. But here, it was already in the wrong hands.

Was there actual damage done by transferring it to a legitimate research group, doing real research, that had to pass many levels of review (whatever its funding)? If not given to a Harvard research lab, might that $6 million not have done even worse damage elsewhere?

You can't buy a really nice lab for $6M. You can buy a small, underfunded one, and run it for a couple years.

$6M is the equivalent of a few McDonald's franchises.

You are all naive as babes if you think you can trust that Epstein wasn’t directing research unrelated to the topics announced to the public.

We are talking about a billionaire EVIL villain. The labs were absolutely compiling supplemental research or other dirty deeds.

Hands are 10x dirtier than public will ever know.

This is state intelligence not psycho playboy.
