> What about Pablo Escobar?
Ah yes. A drug lord who's murdered over 6,000 people and 'covered' it by donating houses to 400 to the poor in his own community is a great counterexample to show why Bill Gates, whose foundation has poured countless dollars into things like eradicating polio, malaria, etc. could very well be using his foundation as a cover for shady business. My bad for not seeing the similarity earlier.
- catalogia 7y agoPablo Escobar demonstrates that there is no depth to the depravity some people are willing to forgive if you give enough to charity. This demonstrates the incredible efficacy of laundering your reputation by giving to charity. Some may have worse reputations to launder than others, but the mechanism involved is identical.
