Reminds me of Oswald Teichmuller, complex analyst and dedicated Nazi. The ability in mathematics to absolutely prove results correct makes using the research of evil people trivial. I doubt Shinichi Mochizuki gave Teichmuller's membership in the Nazi party a single thought when he published Inter-universal Teichmuller theory, and certainly no one has called for Mochizuki's cancellation or the dismantlement of his research group.

Epstein didn’t do any research to cite, he just had a close relationship with the administration he used to get an office and try to rehabilitate his image.
