The Tainted Digital Well
From An Anon:
Listen, Epstein didn't invent Bitcoin Satoshi's ghost stays clean on that front but his fingerprints smear across its early veins, pumping tainted cash into the code that powers the machine. From 2015 onward, the sex trafficker funneled millions through MIT's Media Lab to the Digital Currency Initiative (DCI), the very engine that bankrolled Bitcoin Core developers when the protocol was raw and vulnerable. Joi Ito, the lab's director, thanked Epstein in a April 2015 email for "gift funds" that let MIT swoop in after the Bitcoin Foundation collapsed, hiring Wladimir van der Laan and others to steer the reference implementation.
This wasn't charity; it was infiltration Epstein's $7.5 million (including $5 million from his associate Leon Black) bought access to the nerds shaping the blockchain's guts, all while his island feasts raged on. Newly unsealed House Oversight emails from November 2025 lay it bare: Ito's "Thanks" note forwarded Epstein a pitch on snagging "Bitcoin students" for the lab, turning academia into his personal crypto salon. Jeremy Rubin, a Bitcoin Core contributor, shot Epstein casual check-ins from Japan in 2017, like a mentee updating a sugar daddy: "Hey Jeffrey, thought I'd check in." No direct code tweaks, but the money locked in small-blocks scalability, choking Bitcoin's potential for mass use some call it sabotage, others coincidence, but the rot set in early.
Epstein's Bitcoin itch went beyond funding; he lobbied hard for rules that would chain it down. In February 2018 emails to Steve Bannon, he ranted about "systemic risk" from untraceable transactions, pushing Treasury for voluntary disclosure forms on crypto gains to "fuck all the bad guys." Furniture bought with BTC? Taxable event, he barked, eyeing a web of international pacts to treat crypto like the "Ponzi scheme outside the law" he feared it could become. Just weeks before his July 2019 arrest on federal sex-trafficking charges, Epstein trashed Facebook's Libra stablecoin as a threat, all while his own finances shrouded in secrecy dabbled in digital assets. He hosted Brock Pierce, Tether co-founder and self-proclaimed "most active Bitcoin investor," at his Manhattan townhouse post-2008 conviction, jawing about price swings with Larry Summers. Summers balked at the volatility, but Epstein played connector, linking crypto hustlers to Wall Street ghosts Pierce called it "Bitcoin talk," but the estate emails scream deeper enmeshment in ventures that blurred lines between finance and his flesh trade.

SBF and his girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, were huge donors to politicans and funders of many crypto companies before the collapse of thier companies and subsequent arrests for fraud and corruption. Gary Gensler was also overseeing the longstanding Ripple v SEC lawsuit, over the status of Ripple’s XRP being classified a security or not. Gensler is no longer SEC chairman. Gensler was also principal advisor for Larry Summers, a board member of OpenAI and former Epstein associate. Summers also is a board member for Banco Santander, a long standing partner and investor or Ripple. Summers was Clinton’s former Treasury Secretary, and Bill Clinton, aside from being a close friend of Epstein, was an endorsed and paid speaker for Ripple at their Swell event, making over $500,000 for a 20 minute appearance.

Bob Lee, the founder of Cash App (now deceased) was the COO of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey’s Block (formely Square). Jack Dorsey has been a longtime Bitcoin advocate and is known for his talent in cryptopgraphy, including launching a new app called BitChat. BitChat allows anyone with bluetooth connection to send fully encrypted messages and even Bitcoin without internet connection. This app overlaps the original idea of Mobilecoin and Signal’s goal of sending both fully encrypted messages and digital currency over a secure network. Dorsey has also been suggested to be involved with Bitcoin (Satoshi) with his close ties to cryptography, cypherpunks, and his long standing support of Bitcoin, amongst other things. Dorsye is also a member of California YIMBY, a lobbying group backed by Stripe and Stripe’s co-founder Patrick Collison. As mentioned earlier, Stripe and the funders of Stripe are all deeply ties to both Mobilecoin and Stellar. Several of those people, like Keith Rabois, Reid Hoffman and and Garry Tan are also members of California YIMBY. Bob Lee, Cash App’s founder, was CPO of Mobilecoin. He was also friends with Steve Jurvetson, mentioned earlier, Brady Forrest of Mobilecoin, and Thiel Fellow Dylan Field who founded Figma. Bob Lee was a limited partner at SV Angel venture capital, which deeply funded crypto and AI projects. SV has also ties to many intelligence agency front companies, like Chainalysis, Hot Potato, Hugging Face (all three of which also has funding from CIA agent and actor Ashton Kutcher, a Ripple endorser). Also, Prism Skylabs, with funding from Brad Garlinhouse of Ripple and SV is another intelligence front company. SV has invested in Stripe, Affirm, OpenDoor, Oscar Health, Airbnb, Anduril, Meta, and Chain (former Stellar collaborator), all companies with deep ties to the PayPal mafia.
Sam Bankman-Fried, notorious CEO of Alameda Research and FTX, along with his girlfriend Caroline Ellison, was also a funder of Mobilecoin. Bankman’s FTX and Alameda Research gave millions to Mobilecoin. He was also a donor to Building a Stronger Future Foundation, which gave $500,000 to The Intercept, a publication of First Look Media. Glenn Greewald is a founding editor of The Intercept and member and donor of the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Greenwald was the reporter whom Edward Snowden trusted with his move to Russia and leak of classified NSA/ CIA information. Mentioned earlier, Snowden was a major supporter of Signal for the ecryption ability and privacy of their messaging application. Open Society Foundation is tied to the Freedom of the Press Foundation, which created the Public Voice Project, along with Electronic Privacy Information Center, where Chris Larsen of Ripple is a member. Open Society, George Soros, also funded Polysign, a subsidiary of Ripple founded by the mysterious and unknown Arthur Britto and David Schwartz, co-founder and CTO of Ripple perspectively. Open Society also funded Vice Media, where Renee DiResta of Mobilecoin and the CIA worked and transacted with. Freedom of the Press Foundation made donations to Open Whisper System (Signal) with donors including Open Socierty, Mozilla and DuckDuckGo, the search engine Brian Acton founded and co-founder of Singal Technologoy Foundation. DuckDuckGo also donated at least $25,000 to TOR Project, the DARPA and Naval Research Lab funded project with ties to Todd Huffman, Isis Lovecurft, Jacob Appelbaum, and many other NSA and DARPA ties cyphperpunks with connections to Mobilecoin and Signal. Sam Bankman-Fried’s girlfriend’s father, Glenn Ellison, was colleagues of former SEC chairman Gary Gensler at MIT; Ellison was Department Head of Economics. Caroline Ellion’s mother, Sara Fisher, was also a professor at MIT. Before becoming Chair at the SEC, Professor Gary Gensler taught a course at MIT called "Blockchain And Money." MIT is also home of the notorious and previously mentioned, Epstein funded MIT Media Lab, directed by Joichu Ito. SBF hired the same defense attorney as Ghislaine Maxwell.

Mobilecoin (Sentz) & Signal (Open Whisper System) Thread
4/ 4
Several other noteable Mobilecoin employees and advisors aside from Todd Huffman and Moxie Marlinspike include: Renee DiResta, Bob Lee, and Sarah Novotny.
Renee DiResta is a Thiel Foundation Fellow, CIA Fellow, Long Now Foundation speaker, Council on Foreign Relations member, Mozilla Foundation Fellow and Federalist Society contributor. Denelle Dixon, CEO of Stellar Development Foundation, the same Stellar who’s protocol Mobilecoin is built on, is also a member and COO of Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla spun off AOL, where Ripple’s current CEO Brad Garlinghouse worked for many years, which goes back to Netscape, which Marc Andreessen, one of the Silcon Valley and crypto’s largest investors helped found. Reid Hoffman is also a board member of Mozilla, as well as MIT Media Lab’s former Director Joichu Ito. Both Hoffman and Ito were good friends with Jeffrey Epstein and worked with MIT Media Lab, which recieved Epstein funding to work on AI and crypto projects with ties to intelligence and universirites that work closely with intelligence agencies like MIT, Stanford, and Harvard. Renee DiResta and Hoffman are also members of American Engagement Technologies, which was working with Yonder, a disinformation Research Firm that was exposed for using disinformation tactics. Both Hoffman and DiResta worked with Yonder which transcated with Booz Allen, DARPA, X, 4chan (Q psyop) and Microsoft.
The Long Now Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 1996 and based in San Francisco, dedicated to fostering long-term thinking and planning on a timescale of 10,000 years—termed the "Long Now.” Patrick Collison, mentioned earlier as Stripe’s co-founder with ties to Moxie Marlinspike of Mobilecoin and Signal, is a board member of Long Now Foundation, along with Esther Dyson, an Epstein friend and donor recipient with ties to Barney Pell and Singularity. Peter Thiel is the lead donor for Long Now Foundation. Renee DiResta, a Thiel and CIA Fellow, was a guest speaker of Long Now Foundation at at least one event. Steve Jurvetson of DJF and close longtime friend of Elon Musk, who has invested in at least 4 of his companies, is also a member of Long Now, as well as being a supporter of George Church’s Colossal Bioscience genomics company funded by Jeffrey Epstein. Long Now partnered with George Church’s Colossal Bioscience to resurrect the woolly mammoth and passenger pigeon. Mobilecoin is the only listed “member” company of Long Now Foundation. John Brockman is a member of Long Now who also founded the Epstein and Thiel funded Edge Foundation that includes of some of the most interesting minds in the world. The mandate of Edge Foundation is to promote inquiry into and discussion of intellectual, philosophical, artistic, and literary issues, as well as to work for the intellectual and social achievement of society. Edge Foundation has members including Bill Gates, George Church, Elon Musk, Marvin Minsky, Jeff Bezos, Ray Kurzweil, Vinod Khosla, Larry Page, Sergie Brin, and many more transhumanists and futurists mentioned in this thread who are involved in silicon valley, crypto and AI spaces.

Another Cypherpunk, Yan Zhu, was tied to Mobilecoin, through his relationships with other cypherpunks working with Mobilecoin. Zhu worked with the DoD and was friends with Chelsea (Bradley) Manning, who was also an ex-girlfriend of Grimes, Elon Musk’s ex as well. Chelsea Manning leaked information to Julian Assange for his Wikileaks and was subsiquently charged by the US government. Manning worked for the US Army 10th and Creative Commons where she met Lisa Rein, a fellow Lifeboat Foundation advisor, along with Huffman, Epstein and many crypto currency founders like Charles Hoskinson, Vitalik Buterin, Jed McCaleb, Charlie Lee and many others. Todd Huffman also overlaps Elon’s Neuralink co-founder Max More in several transhuman companies and organizations, such as Lifeboat Foundation, Humanity+ (Epstein funded), Alcor Life Extension, and Extropy Institute.
Todd Huffman, mentioned earlier, was working with the Deparment of Defense (DoD), which also hired Zach Cooper. Cooper was a member of the Open Technology Fund, along with Cory Doctorow, Katherine Maher and Moxie Marlinspikem, all of whom worked with Mobilecoin and Signal. Signal was originally “Open Whisper System”, much like how Ripple was once “OpenCoin”. There seems to be a common theme of early cryptography companies named something with “Open” to showcase the open-source and decentralized concept put forth by the cypherpunks behind these companies.
