He knew. If you want to pretend he didnt, fine. Im still not chilling with a powerful creep convicted of messing with 14 year olds.

A lot of guys, unfortunately do. I don't think Gates knew he was having girls lured to him and imprisoned on his island, but at this point, we're both speculating.

But I am saying a lot of men don't care about sexual violence against women and don't think it's notable.

Im just asking why he would. Thats what I cant get past. Accepting well just cuz he did ok what of it is a greater logical leap than any of the conspiracy theories.

A reputation of trafficking minors too. Gates does indeed do a lot of shady things under the guise of charity.

It's a good question. I just think there're mundane answers because I see them happen plenty of times on lower scales. I don't think either of us are sayin Gates isn't an asshole either.

He has a well funded PR machine, Ive already stated that. Which makes it more puzzling why hed leave this mark for allegedly nothing.

Its widely reported that his time with Epstein was a major factor in his divorce and early into it.

sometimes people fuck up. I'm not disputin Epstein was a factor in Melinda's decision to divorce him, either. I just don't think Gates is a good person.

Then you look at the timing of this investigation over something from 20 years prior. It only finally came to light as he was flubbing interviews about his time with Epstein. Its common to see powerful people finally held accountable for sex scandals only after theyre already on their way out.

In this case, it might be an investigation hit to ensure things were clean, but I think it's pretty clear the deciding factor in Gates at Microsoft was the adultery issue and being inappropriate with employees

These arent even close to oligarchs. Bankman was a new kid on the block barely billionaire that scammed other barely billionaires. Weinstein had less wealth than most pro athletes.

Bezos, Zuck, Musk, Gates, etc those are oligarchs.

This depends how one defines oligarch, but it's tangential to the main discussion, so we don't need to get bogged down on it.
