From his wiki, just to throw a little salt on the wound...
In 2014, Gariépy received $25,000 from
Jeffrey Epstein to start the nonprofit organization NEURO.tv which was dedicated to education on science and philosophy via YouTube. Asked whether he felt any regrets for having taken money from a sex offender, Gariépy said: "I'd cash a check sent straight from the devil if it could allow me to advance science or science education [...] I did know about the earlier conviction of Epstein when I accepted the money. I didn't know of the most recent allegations though, which are worse than I thought. In any case, I do not regret taking the money. Evil people are not just evil." Later that year Gariépy requested additional funding from Epstein to finance his book,
The Revolutionary Phenotype. Epstein did not respond.
