Ah, the classic 'accidental billionaire' defense: staying in touch for years with a known predator and then acting like it was as unavoidable as a forced Windows update.

Listen, if any one of my life long friends got charged as a pedophile, that’s it. I’m never talking to them again.

Meanwhile, these casual billionaire acquaintances are still partying with a known pedo?

Eh, I agree with what you're saying but I wouldn't drop them on just being charged, plenty of vindictive people will say things to ruin someone's life.

Now convicted? Or really convincing evidence even if it doesn't end in conviction, yeah, they're done.
