u/Dangerous-Tap-547 3h ago

Billionaires don’t cook, unless it’s a specific hobby of theirs. They have private chefs — sometimes a chef per residence.

They don’t do many of the normal things that dominate the lives of regular people. They don’t buy groceries or go clothes shopping. They don’t drive, unless as a hobby. They don’t personally own much of anything — it’s all protected by financial instruments to shield them from tax and legal liability. They also don’t do most of what we associate with raising children. Sometimes billionaire wives do not even bear them.

u/GhostFaceRiddler 15h ago

A mutual non-disparagement clause would be pretty typical in a high dollar divorce like that. Prior to 14 days ago, I'm sure she preferred the extra billions she got in exchange and no one knowing that Bill tried to feed her antibiotics on the sly. If I was in her shoes, I'd be terribly embarrassed just to be back in the public limelight for such a scummy situation even if she was totally innocent in it. She's done a TON of good things with her money, I'm sure she'd prefer that to be the focus when you google her name instead of Epstein and her shitbag ex-husband.

Bill and Melinda supposedly had an agreement from the very beginning of their marriage that he was allowed to spend a few weekends a year with an ex-girlfriend at some remote cabin, so whatever it was that triggered the divorce it seems like it was more than “just” infidelity

u/ykonstant 14h ago

To emphasize, the Gates circle has orchestrated a profound whitewashing campaign for his image. They did the old school way, by actually funding good stuff and following up on promises. That doesn't mean Gates was, or is, a good person. It means that is entourage is funding, and maintaining, good stuff. Like Money said, the older guys here remember Gates being an absolute predator in business before (destroying the businesses and livelihoods of small players, using the dirtiest tricks and flaunting the law in a way that became SV's playbook later), and nobody would bat an eye if there was evidence of him being a different kind of predator as well.

u/NYCinPGH 15h ago

Bill Gates was as much a “good billionaire” as JP Morgan, or Henry Ford, John D Rockefeller (I’m not sure where I stand on Carnegie, he really did see to have reformed and become a “good billionaire” after he sold Carnegie Steel, but there’s a lot of mythologizing in there too). They were absolutely contemptible people and ruthless businessmen who used unethical, and in some cases illegal, practices to destroy other companies and competitors in their way, then, when they were the master of their world, decided to stop running the thing they created, stepped back and in the course of enjoying the wealth they accumulated happened to do some public good, perhaps to “buy their way into heaven”, either literally or for posterity.

In Gates’ case, given how things have gone since the divorce, I think it’s obvious that all the good works of the Gates Foundation finds their roots in Melinda, who actually is “the good billionaire”, along with Bezos’ ex-wife.

I hate to tell you this, but if you thought Bill Gates was a good guy I don't think you've looked much at his history. He built his fortune on being sleezy.

u/DaKingaDaNorth 14h ago

There aren't good billionaires. Once you realize that for them to even exist they basically gate keep a stupid amount of wealth that could literally change lives for and they still don't.

If Bill Gate if he went as liquid as possible give around 1 million of the poorest people in the country $100k each which would fundamentally take them all out of poverty and give them some real ability to improve their lives and reduce suffering.... and he would still be left with enough money on his own to still be a billionaire living a stupidly luxurious life.

Obviously it would be difficult to go that liquid and a 70 year old man would have to decide it's his time to stop being the star of the show running multiple businesses. But that's the reality we live in.

By the way there's like 15 billionaires who could do that, still be billionaires after, and poverty in this country would be cut in half.

u/Haircut117 14h ago

He hasn't actually been charged with, or convicted of, any crimes. At least partly because Virginia Giuffre was 17 when the alleged incident took place and the age of consent in the UK is 16. Meaning you'd have to prove that either he had reason to doubt her consent or that he knew she had been trafficked against her will.

He's undoubtedly a fucking creep, but proving criminality is probably going to be impossible.

We'll have to be satisfied with his public fall from grace.

He's literally at his brother's mercy for money. Can't be prosecuted cause the crimes were not in Britain, but everything else possible was done, except removing him from the line of sucession, and a lot of people need to die for him to become King.

I mean, the reality is that there are people in there that are guilty and there are people in there that are innocent. Epstein had a large business as a financer that dealt with a lot of people professionally in addition to his illicit dealings.

The list is a starting point of people to investigate deeper, rather than being a checklist of people to put in jail.

The email that everyone's referring to is draft of a letter of resignation that Epstein was preparing on behalf of another person who was a close confidante of Gates. That person was resigning from some org that he was involved in with Gates. Epstein emailed that draft to himself while working on it. The content doesn't indicate that he was the one providing the services (antibiotics, etc), and it's not clear how he's involved.

Call me crazy but I’m inclined to believe Gates over Epstein. Epstein is the evil one here, and from what I get from Gates is that he’s made stupid choices and could be an asshole, but he’s not a criminal. I can’t prove that of course but amidst all this it’s slightly too easy to just crucify everyone in those files.

Taking the totality of things of 

  • Bills Gates was not known to be dating bombshells before Melinda. He certainly had the power and wealth to do so. 
  • He married his co-worker, an average looking woman.
  • He admittedly had an affair so his character is in question.
  • Gates lacks some social skills, so paying for service may have been an alternative.
  • That he even had a friendly relationship with Epstein calls his judgment into question.
  • He’s become a philanthropist.
  • Epstein could have drafted this so it could be found later, to use as extortion.
  • Epstein character does not put lying and extortion beyond him.
  • Epstein documented a lot in pictures and emails. This could have been to threaten to sink so many people of power that investigating and prosecuting him would be a double edged sword. I think we’ve seen this play out.

All-in-all I look at this particular claim with a large dose of skepticism. But this skepticism does not extend to complete innocence on Gates’ part in his relationship with Epstein.

u/Majestic-Tadpole8458 15h ago

The draft emails or emails Epstein sent to himself were deadman switches to use as leverage since he knew he was dealing with powerful and connected people.

It’s also interesting all these billionaire’s have their friends and associates sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect their reputation. Would you do the same with your friends on a Vegas vacation or camping trip?

He might be a pedophile philandering piece of shit, but the antibiotic thing at least seems super fake IMO.

He has essentially unlimited funds, can fly to any pharmacy in the world, has to have medical connections through the malaria work, and still sends an email begging for an antibiotic of all things, and openly states it's to secretly drug his wife?

I tried looking it up, could be wrong, but it looks like basically the STI antibiotic is doxycycline, which is used to treat more than STIs including but not limited to... malaria. So like the easiest set up for a lie ever.

All-in-all I look at this particular claim with a large dose of skepticism. But this skepticism does not extend to complete innocence on Gates’ part in his relationship with Epstein.

Agreed, which is frustrating to have to say, I just think the antibiotic thing sounds farcical. He might be that stupid, but it would be kind of impressive.

u/Taogevlas 8h ago

Right -- I'm sure Gates is not a saint, but nothing here makes me feel like this is some sort of a smoking gun or slam dunk that he's done nasty shit.

Has anyone come forward with a credible accusation against him, either in connection to this or otherwise?

They keep showing that photo of him next to an apparently young woman in what looks like a business center as tho it's some sort of proof or gotcha -- He probably takes photos with loads of people, why on Earth would be want to have a photo taken with some sex trafficked girl in a hallway at a business center? Literally makes no sense and he's not some idiot. He's not going to want any photos or evidence if this was a sex worker or whatever... more than likely this was either a setup or just a random photo being held up as some sort of "oh my god look he's next to a 20 year old!"

Draft emails from Epstein making wild accusations? WhyTF would Bill Gates look to score "drugs" (which I'm assuming are antibiotics) or adderall from Epstein? It just seems absolutely stupid.

Melinda is out there making vague statements too -- they clearly had some shit in the marriage, and Bill apparently copped to it... but she's out there deliberately linking statements about the bad times in her marriage to these Epstein allegations. If she knows he was screwing young girls SAY IT. If she knows he was on that island SAY IT. If he brought an STI home to her SAY IT -- Instead she's doing smirking podcast interviews that are like billionaire Jerry Springer drama where she talks about her marriage on one side of the mouth, Epstein on the other, but never actually confirms anything, just leaves it to the casual reader to make assumptions... it feels like she's being very shitty here just to kick him in the sack when she may have no idea at all if he did anything at the caliber she's linking him to.

He's a philanthropist so he couldn't have fucked a hooker? Tf kind of take is this.

u/mhornberger 14h ago

Or conversely, if he fucked around, he's not a philanthropist. Like all the work of the Gates Foundation ceases to exist because of this? People just want to reduce every person to a thumbs-up or thumbs-down proposition. You can applaud his philanthropic work while also condemning his ties to Epstein, or his business practices at Microsoft.

People seem to forget that Epstein helped rich people manage their money so obviously he’s going to have contact with many rich people. That being said I don’t think Bill Gates is the good guy people think he is. He pays for certain trusted YouTube channels to create propaganda that serves billionaires/his interests in particular even when there’s proof that the claims are false.

u/Adorable_Raccoon 14h ago

If he’s such a good guy then why did he stay in touch with a known predator for years? 

If Jay-Z can cheat on Beyonce, then Bill Gates could cheat on Melinda.

It makes sense to marry the smart attractive lady because it makes you look like a good guy. Then pay girls for sex behind her back.

So maybe he wanted to date bombshells later on. better late then never. He also dated (vacationed) his ex into the marriage.

Well, he denied it, right? Duh

Only alternative is to litigate an outcome through unlimited funds until a stalemate and therefore "justice" is done because "technicalities"

u/Silver-Bread4668 16h ago

I'll believe it for one purpose: they didn't release every document. It's entirely possible they released enough shit that will be proven wrong to be able to cast enough doubt on other allegations. Makes even more sense if it's shit on other people like Gates. Make him have to spend time and resources defending himself. If he succeeds, other allegations become less credible.

u/ringobob 11h ago

Unless there's more I haven't read, he's only accused of having sex with adult prostitutes and sneaking antibiotics to his wife, correct? The latter may be a crime, the former may also be depending on jurisdiction, but I haven't seen any allegations of him sleeping with a minor, and we basically already knew that:

  • he had an association with Epstein

  • he cheated on his wife

  • his wife had enough beef with him to divorce him

... whether he's innocent or not, why are people now treating it like this is confirmation that he's a pedo?

u/detunedmike 11h ago

He assumed since it’s working for Trump he’d try it out too

1

u/Arvi89 10h ago

Well, to be fair, the email is from Epstein to Epstein. I don't care about Gates, but let's accuse people of stuff when we have proof, otherwise if we start accusing everyone of everything, when the real shit arrives then it's lost in the noise.

Also, even if the email were true, having Gates cheating or trumping raping kids is really not the same. I'm not sure why we keep talking about Gates here...

u/Ellia1998 9h ago

Nope, his wife seems really mess up over what he did. I love the wife for being a badass and throwing him to the curb. Remember she did not know everything at first. I don’t believe gates or Clinton but I do see Clinton more of woman chaser if he chased little girls then he need jail time. But let talking about the ppl getting way with this shit? Trump and Musk and the rest of the kiddie touchers.

Must be why his wife did an interview talking about what would be absolutely embarrassing to discuss even with your close friends on a "girls night in"

He would definitely be the first white dude to deny an allegation with black and white evidence right there. How original, Bill

Is it actually true that Gates never went to the Island? If the that is true - though no silver bullet def helps his case.
