Bill Gates went to visit Epstein in prison after he got charged.

Allegedly Epstein's behaviour was well know. Donald Trump commented on it before it came out, saying Epstein liked them too young.

Epstein died prior to fully testifying, in suspicious circumstances. His partner was charged with trafficking, with no customers being identified.

It's highly probable some of his associates were his customers. It's right to treat them with suspicion. We don't know who they were, but we know they got away with it. They will continue to get away with it, if everyone just forgets.

Its almost a certainty that some of his associates were customers, but being in a photo with someone is about as flimsy as circumstantial evidence gets. Thats all I'm saying.

Being in a picture+ Using his plane+ Speaking with him after being charged+ Getting divorced after his ex-wife found out!

Too many to overlook.

No argument but even if that is the case, theres still 3 other people in the photo. Being in a photo with 2 pedos still doesnt make you a pedo.

I just think the odds of this group being a far flung conspiracy involving literally everyone Epstein ever met including all the domestic staff, drivers, pilots, assistants and customers is far less likely than it being a very small and select group that he carefully felt out before making the secret known and offering access.

Malcolm Gladwell has been writing private shadow editorials for elite clientele justifying MAPs.

I guess he finally found something to pour 10,000hrs into 😂

The Bill Gates foundation almost certainly used Epstein's network to provide financing for legitimate businesses and charities. The vast majority involved would be convinced they're making the world a better place.

Flippant comments (Like photos) don't necessarily mean well known. Especially when it comes to particularly sadistic pleasure activities,

Epstein had billions tied up in money making schemes from just about every industry. A Lot of people tied to his finances - possibly Gates for example - would be anxious to get abandon ship before it sinks.

So if the official story was true it makes sense that Gates would keep ties. Nah, who am I kidding, he probably been eating babies since the taint of his first billion.

No amount of money in the world justified the crimes he committed.

Enabling one evil to banish another only exist in hypotheticals and the conscious of the wicked.

Money and financing for charity can be had without sponsoring Epstein. Bill Gates of all people would have access to sufficient funding for any charity endeavour he has taken on.

If Bill Gates lost all his money and access, he would still be better off than most by a large margin. He is extremely unlikely to end up worse off than Epstein's victims.

crimes he committed

That's my entire point. I made no claim about weighing up hypotheticals on an ethical scale.
