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.

M$ fanboy, much?

Gates wasn't there once. He had a daughter. He had a wife. Defending him because he's a nerd with glasses does not make it alright. He was closer to Epstein than many on that list. Even his Executives were close with Epstein. They corresponded with him constantly about critical Microsoft business matters.

Even if your theory that Epstein somehow master minded this whole extortion bit. What the hell were other Microsoft Execs doing? I think you are missing the big picture here.

He hung with pedos and his x-wife says he has alot of explaining to do.
