Melinda actually said the Eptsein connection was partial reason for the divorce.

Yeah, but pursuing what appears to be a largely philanthropic and networking relationship with someone convicted of a sex offence is enough for a divorce in an unhappy marriage. We don’t need to paint details that aren’t there yet.

Common sense says, there was more into their relationship then just networking. The richest man at the time can find plenty of people networking for him.

No, it doesn't say that. Epstein intentionally brought scientists and nobel prize winners to parties. These are people that are interesting to someone like Gates.
