    Jeffrey Epstein funding and access controversy

    BuzzFeed News reported that Jeffrey Epstein was Edge's largest donor and attended at least two Edge dinners in 2011, where his association gave him access to prominent scientists and technology figures. The report also questioned why he was not identified in attendee listings and highlighted that the events took place after his criminal conviction. The disclosures generated criticism of Edge's donor relationships and transparency.
