On an unrelated note, Bill Gates is in the epstein list.

And the reason Melinda divorced him.

We can only speculate, but his infidelity with staffers was known, and him being on the Epstein list may have been the final straw.

A decent person would have gone to the press with it, but she's wealthy so she didn't.

Because it would reflect poor on her, too. It's like when people don't report being victims of sexual assault, because they know people will look at them differently forever, doesn't even have to be that extreme, just imagine being a normal family in a normal neighborhood where everybody knows everyone for decades, and then you find out your husband has a fling with a younger woman. It's just embarrassing, you know?

You and me and all of us lie all the time about way less embarrassing things, because we don't want to be seen a certain way, as victims, as having been duped or gullible or even the butt of a joke.

Imagine on that level, where you are married to one of the richest men in the world, and your rollerdex contains thousands of names to some of the most powerful people on the planet, and you "go to the press with it".

It would change your life forever, the scandal would stain every aspect of your life F O R E V E R.

And he didn't donate shit without an economic incentive, it's all a tax writeoff, it's all a scam. Even that shit he did pumping money into AIDS research as "charity" went into companies where he held stake himself. It's so fucking vile.

Didn't know that, but not surprised.

In an email sent after Gates went to have dinner with Epstein in his Manhattan mansion he wrote A very attractive Swedish woman and her daughter dropped by and I ended up staying there quite late
