I don't get it. Gates has never come across as completely depraved (greedy, maybe) so I don't think he was using Epstein's services, but I can tell you in working class US, if you find out that anyone did what Epstein did, you never talk to them again because they are a predator, much less befriend them.
What was Gates doing and why is there a collective sigh about it? Tech does not care. Microsoft does not care.

Gates is either careless, foolish, a creep, or all three. But this kind of bullshit is the stuff that made him the absolute worst person to head up things like virus response and we need to get these predators out of industries.
Maybe Gates just has the wealth and skill to craft a PR image that covers up his depravity, so that you dismiss the conclusion of his affiliation with Epstein even after being confused as to what other explanation it might have.
Many such cases.
It can kind of be perceived as the trolly problem in real life. Do you pull the lever and get one person's blood on your hands, but result in 4 met lives saved? Or do you stay morally pure by refusing to kill someone... and let the 5 people die by your inaction?
Gates does strike me as an analytical, ends-justify-the-means kind of guy
Melinda does care.
The MS crew whoring around in the 80s was a well known thing. Zebras dont change their stripes and none of this matters wrt to having a clue/foresight about vaccines and doing good things with wealth/influence.
Or there is something going on that we don't know about. It seems unlikely that all the politics in the world is conducted in places that random people like us have access to.
Non-charitable attribution? They like young girls.
- Alexander Acosta has been quoted as saying that he was told Epstein “is intelligence” and to “leave it alone”
- Ghislaine Maxwells father, who died under mysterious circumstances, was very likely to have been involved with Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency
- Collecting blackmail material on powerful people is intelligence agency 101, Epsteins trafficking ring had scores of that.
- Epstein got large amounts of funding from Lesley Wexner, with no logical reason ever given as to why. Wexner by coincidence, is one of the founding members of the MEGA group, a group of businessmen who donate money to causes related to Israel’s national interests.
Occam’s razor says the simplest and most likely explanation is that Epstein worked for Mossad, and was running a sex trafficking ring in order to collect blackmail material on powerful people for the Mossad to wield.
All normal. He did that. Wexler screwed up majorly by letting Epstein have "power of attorney" rights on Wexler's accounts.
It seems Epstein was stealing money from Wexler, who was just not interested enough to notice....if the current round of documentaries are a fixed point of the story, of course.
If i remember correctly it's unclear which particular agencies Epstein could be a part of/have cover from, so it's better to not point at Israel alone
He also had ties to Mossad.
Sounds like a societal excuse to hide shit.
> McGraw-Hill Inc., long the subject of takeover speculation, quieted those rumors somewhat yesterday when it said it had signed a standstill agreement with Robert Maxwell, the British entrepreneur whose empire includes Macmillan Inc., and would form a joint publishing venture with him.
The username "maxwellhill" also makes total sense knowing this.
You're speaking like that's almost certainty, which is little more than speculation.
The more reasonable assumption is that he knew he was ruined, his life was essentially over, and became suicidal because of his lack of a future. If he had real dirt on anyone, it's quite possible that they were just other forgettable rich dudes like himself with no significant power or influence.
