The connection between Epstein and Gates seems fishy, not only because of what Epstein did but because the picture painted of Epstein by some intellectuals was of someone that distilled basically into a "eccentric try-hard". He would spout facts and some shallow philosophical questions around to play up his own intellectuality which was easily picked up by anyone less braindead than he was. How has Gates endured talking to someone like that through the years? To the point of supporting and aiding people around Epstein? Is it all about money and "philanthropism"? Such a weird connection to have, I understand that Epstein was connected to a lot of powerful people but Gates is fucking Gates, he can get connected to almost any powerful person just by making a call and stating "Hi, it's Bill Gates calling".
