Document Summary

This document is an April 2015 email from Jeffrey Epstein to MIT Media Lab director Joichi Ito. Ito informs Epstein that 'gift funds,' implicitly from Epstein, were used to hire key Bitcoin core developers (including Gavin Andresen) for the Lab's new Digital Currency Initiative. This move was made possible by the recent collapse of the developers' previous sponsor, the Bitcoin Foundation, representing a 'big win' for the MIT Media Lab.
