    “Some of the employees said that while they disapproved of Mr. Gates’s behavior, they did not perceive it to be predatory. They said he did not pressure the women to submit to his advances for the sake of their careers, and he seemed to feel that he was giving the women the space to refuse his advances.”

    He’s a creep, but it doesn’t sound like he’s a Weinstein or even a harmon.

    I understand why anyone wouldn’t like gates, but I have trouble reading these articles and feeling the same vitriol toward him I feel toward other indisputable offenders.

    Do you have any more information on the Epstein gates relationship?

    I’ve heard about their relationship, but the article you provided says that they never did any business together, so I’m curious if there’s any evidence of him on that disgusting rape island.

        Not for me. Focusing on assumptions and assumptions are not very convincing.

        I find it crazy that the video owner thought of Bill Gates as a “lovable grandpa” until 6 months ago.

        This video broadcasts how personally disappointed this video maker is that Bill Gates is not a paragon of virtue, but it doesn’t really provide a solid foundation for the Epstein Gates relationship.

        And I have to say it, apart from the circumstantial evidence, the fact that he looks like Charlie in conspiracy mode does not help.

        He keeps remarking how strange it is. That gates would downplay any interactions with Epstein no matter how innocuous, and says that he can’t understand why you would downplay that.

        But of course gates wouldn’t want to be associated with Epstein and wood down play any relationship they had whether they were friends or acquaintances?

        It would be very damaging to your reputation regardless of the relationship, so I don’t think that’s very strong evidence either.

        I’ve heard all this circumstantial logic for the past couple years, but I don’t think it carries much weight with regards to Gates being amoral on the same level that Epstein was, or much more than an obscenely powerful man.

        Having said that, thanks for sharing the video, I wondered if there was any more concrete evidence that has been released or developed since I last looked into gates.

          This video focuses on lies, not assumptions.

          Also, when talking about sexual misconduct/abuse and related matters the way we think of justice can be very tricky and I think we need to reconsider the notion of

          concrete evidence

          For example, it’s not a given that a 24-year-old can prove that 10 years back they were sexually abused or raped by Epstein. Or anyone actually.
