I think most people would settle for "don't hang out with Jeffery Epstein", but you do you. (and yes, he met his wife at work. But hitting on a bunch of subordinates later on in life while still married to that wife is quite a different proposition) Anyway, the point - as the article states! - is that Bill carefully crafted his persona after spending years as the Big Bad Microsoft Guy. He appeared on Ellen, did Reddit AMAs, etc. etc... he was as much a media personality as anyone else. Nothing wrong with that except that, yes, it might come back to bite you when facts emerge that don't fit the narrative you've been telling.
