Forbes, not NYT
And a reminder that the vast majority of articles on "Forbes" are written by an army of contributors, who until recently weren't even guaranteed to be paid. Forbes online is basically the Huffington Post, but riding the coattails of its supposedly prestigious namesake magazine. https://guestpost.com/blog/2018/08/how-much-paid-forbes/

> The article on the Forbes website was attributed to Drew Hendricks, a contributing writer. As The Times revealed in an article last week, he was not the author of the piece. Instead, it was delivered to him by a public relations firm, and he said he was paid $600 to attach his byline and post it at Forbes.com.
> Mr. Hendricks said he had not been aware of Mr. Epstein’s history. “All I knew was, this is a guy doing a science thing,” he said. “If I had known otherwise, I wouldn’t have done it.”
