I totally disagree. Joi began his financial relationship with Epstein in 2013, well after Epstein became a publicly known sex offender. Either Joi didn't do his due diligence (doubtful) or ignored the facts that surrounded Epstein and decided to assume the risk of working with known sex trafficker.

This is damage control pure and simple and without tact. Had this been disclosed say a month earlier as the new criminal case began to form, this apology might actually mean something other than "Shit now everyone sees this putrid stink cloud is hanging around me too."

There's nothing classy about this. It wasn't until the latest batch of Epstein information came forward that Ito said anything. Epstein was raping children during the period Ito was raising money from him, coinvesting with him and visiting his houses! There's not excuse for that.
