9. To be clear what I meant was the verbiage makes sense in the story being conveyed

Catwoman's snipped version cut off the end of the sentence, the part that makes it make sense in context

As an aside I'd conditionally say "I buy it" for now because I don't get enough information from this article to proclaim it's bullshit.

The information you've included about relationship reporting may be pertinent, but I don't know enough how things work to conclude that "in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies" means the guy is required to disclose he's privately giving investment advice to another individual. Epstein was not TTBOMK, running "a medical device, research and/or drug company", so I just don't know whether or not this doctor was running afoul of that regulation by not reporting that working relationship with Epstein. If you're saying you do have expertise on the subject, that would illuminating of you to share

Also, I don't quite understand what nefarious purpose you are speculating that this money "was really for"? Seems pretty unlikely it was used for clinical care unless you're saying this doctor worked for Ohio State, but the office he was at every day was within a few miles of Epstein's estate? Again, if you're aware of a fact of that nature, please do share.

Or if you would elucidate what you think the money was really for, but it's NOT clinical care, then what is your supposition, and why do you suppose that?

Given the Wexner connection, I'd probably be amenable to the idea that this could've been some kind of money-laundering operation, that could make some sense, though again, I'm much too unfamiliar with money-laundering schemes in general, and in academia especially, so I'd probably need some kind of explanation of how this scheme would've worked
