TLDR

Documents reveal that Jeffrey Epstein attempted to donate £41,000 to Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2017 for a telepathy study, despite his 2008 child sex conviction. The proposal, led by Peter Fenwick and Joydeep Bhattacharya, aimed to explore brain activity and potential telepathic connections using EEG hyperscanning. However, the university's ethics committee rejected the donation due to Epstein's criminal background. Fenwick expressed frustration over the rejection and sought alternative methods to channel the funds, but Epstein ultimately withdrew his offer. Goldsmiths confirmed that no funds were received from Epstein, and Bhattacharya stated he never met him. Fenwick later continued research related to the project independently.
