Bill Gates Met With Jeffrey Epstein Many Times, Despite His Past
Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who committed suicide in prison, managed to lure an astonishing array of rich, powerful and famous men into his orbit.
snip...
Mr. Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, whose $100 billion-plus fortune has endowed the worlds largest charitable organization, has done his best to minimize his connections to Mr. Epstein. I didnt have any business relationship or friendship with him, he told The Wall Street Journal last month.
In fact, beginning in 2011, Mr. Gates met with Mr. Epstein on numerous occasions including at least three times at Mr. Epsteins palatial Manhattan townhouse, and at least once staying late into the night, according to interviews with more than a dozen people familiar with the relationship, as well as documents reviewed by The New York Times.
Employees of Mr. Gatess foundation also paid multiple visits to Mr. Epsteins mansion. And Mr. Epstein spoke with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and JPMorgan Chase about a proposed multibillion-dollar charitable fund an arrangement that had the potential to generate enormous fees for Mr. Epstein.

That's like saying that you have the clap, or that you like little girls.

and that is the MOST charitable interpretation of this story.

(10,202 posts)5. Gates also meets with Trump on a regular basis.
At least he did when the orange bafoon first took office.
Both of these men are in the same club. The filthy rich club and it does not include us. But it does mean they support and enable each other.
Like I always say, if America's filthy rich capitalist kings did Not want Traitor Trump and his Slovenian sex worker to represent the US, they wouldn't be there. Gates alone has enough money to single handedly force Trump out.
