Oh my god.

It's not much, but this is the first actual consequences I've seen from the epstein fallout.

Well, besides epstein himself.

DinoCon has named several paleontologists and researchers who had links with Epstein after his conviction. And they've also banned the directors of various institutions that have continued to maintain ties with those people.
