Hi Jeffrey. This came in to my press team. The news about your funding the restoration of the Rothko
murals is obviously not true. If the reporter contacted you, would it be possible for you to somehow
confirm this fact to this reporter. Also, can you have your web person take down any reference to the MIT
Media Lab on your site. That would be very helpful.
Should we give the reporter your email or direct them to someone else?
Thanks.

•> I'm a reporter with Reuters, and I'm working on a story about Mr. Epstein's foundation. He has been in
the news recently in connection with a federal court case in Florida, and according to his website, he was
a donor last year to both MIT and the MIT Media Lab. More at these links:
