The news comes just days after he made comments in an email conversation with others at the lab about the victims of billionaire and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who had previously donated large sums of money to the university. > In the last email that Stallman addressed to ‘The MIT community’ and published on his site, he noted he was “doing this due to pressure on MIT and me over a series of misunderstandings and mischaracterizations.”
