Does this mean the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation shall change its name? What would they do with all that custom stationary they had printed up?

Who gets to run the vaccine mind control? He probably covered that in the pre-nup, I guess.

Someone's about to become a very well-compensated wingman.

Does this mean the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation shall change its name? What would they do with all that custom stationary they had printed up?

Their press release states that they will continue to run it together, so it seems probable that it will keep the name.

Several of my soc med acquaintances have made a big deal of this news? I am genuinely confused. Do people like them? Idk how it isn't obvious that someone who could solve world hunger, literally, before breakfast, and not notice any difference in their bank account and yet DOESN'T DO THAT, is not a good person.

wall street journal also running with a story about this

treeship., Monday, 10 May 2021 00:50 (two years ago) link

why the fuck would someone be "friends" with epstein?

treeship., Monday, 10 May 2021 00:51 (two years ago) link

because they were weirdos with limited social aptitude who live isolated lives, and he was a skilled social climber with a gift for blandishments?

bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Monday, 10 May 2021 01:37 (two years ago) link

i think there is something deeper. it doesn't mean gates was involved in the criminal activity, but i think there was something about epstein's operation that led him to be someone gates could gain from knowing.

treeship., Monday, 10 May 2021 01:39 (two years ago) link

i don't want to be a digital detective, but everything about this story is frustrating. so much doesn't add up.

c'mon treesh bring us your conspiracy theories

lukas, Tuesday, 11 May 2021 02:30 (two years ago) link

I feel pretty comfortable saying anyone who hung out w Epstein for more than an hour, and on multiple occasions, knew what was up

Washington Generals D-League affiliate (will), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 12:14 (two years ago) link

he had been arrested and served time for child sex trafficking BEFORE gates first met him.

treeship., Tuesday, 11 May 2021 13:02 (two years ago) link

yep

Washington Generals D-League affiliate (will), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 13:53 (two years ago) link

oh that's not a conspiracy theory, that is just the most straightforward interpretation of the information we have.

lukas, Tuesday, 11 May 2021 17:47 (two years ago) link

right. so the question -- not the theory -- is why was gates getting mixed up with epstein at that time? clearly the cost/benefit analysis, if he is just looking for more people to pitch into scientific or humanitarian causes, would lead one to conclude epstein was more trouble than he is worth. the only things epstein offered that other billionaires couldn't is 1.) children to exploit, 2.) compromising information on other powerful people.

treeship., Tuesday, 11 May 2021 18:55 (two years ago) link

maybe there is a 3.)

or maybe gates is so naive he just wanted epstein to pitch into philanthropic causes and assumed he had been reformed after that laughably light sentence.

treeship., Tuesday, 11 May 2021 18:56 (two years ago) link

Gates is amoral and doesn’t give a shit about the welfare of children and his “philanthropy” is basically a scam to launder his reputation (among other things), which will likely work and certainly has so far, so I can’t say I’m too surprised he hooked up w Epstein

Pinefox reviews Reviews (wins), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 19:04 (two years ago) link

Also probably a nonce

Pinefox reviews Reviews (wins), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 19:05 (two years ago) link

yeah but if the gates foundation was about laundering his reputation, aligning himself with epstein in the 2010s is a bad move

treeship., Tuesday, 11 May 2021 19:12 (two years ago) link

That remains to be seen tbh

Pinefox reviews Reviews (wins), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 19:15 (two years ago) link

Maybe it's just the increased focus and reporting in recent but it seems like the foundation has been doing a terrible job of laundering his reputation, given it only seems to have grown worse since he left Microsoft.

soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 19:21 (two years ago) link

I hope that’s true but my sense is that outside of vaccine conspiracists he is generally thought of as a benevolent dude who has given his fortune away

Pinefox reviews Reviews (wins), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 19:25 (two years ago) link

He got away with associating with Epstein until now. He had every reason to believe no one would even notice.

Joe Bombin (milo z), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 20:02 (two years ago) link

I say now but it’s not like there will be any repercussions. No one’s kicking him off any boards or killing fawning coverage of him in general.

Joe Bombin (milo z), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 20:03 (two years ago) link

yeah but why associate with him, beginning in the 2010s, when epstein was already a notorious sex offender.

treeship., Tuesday, 11 May 2021 20:03 (two years ago) link

Because you’re an egomaniac with a zillion dollars and get away with everything? Given the lack of downside, why not?

Sadly true yes, gets brought up in "the ultra rich aren't all bad" discussions by supposedly otherwise intelligent people in a way that Bezos or Zuckerberg never do.

On at least a few occasions, Mr. Gates pursued women who worked for him at Microsoft and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, according to people with direct knowledge of his overtures. In meetings at the foundation, he was at times dismissive toward his wife, witnesses said.

And then there was Jeffrey Epstein, whom Mr. Gates got to know beginning in 2011, three years after Mr. Epstein, who faced accusations of sex trafficking of girls, pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor. Ms. French Gates had expressed discomfort with her husband spending time with the sex offender, but Mr. Gates continued doing so, according to people who were at or briefed on gatherings with the two men.

For years, Mr. Gates continued to go to dinners and meetings at Mr. Epstein’s home, where Mr. Epstein usually surrounded himself with young and attractive women, said two people who were there and two others who were told about the gatherings.

Joe Bombin (milo z), Sunday, 16 May 2021 20:30 (two years ago) link

does not sounds like an amicable divorce

treeship., Sunday, 16 May 2021 21:00 (two years ago) link

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.

why not look for sidea action discreetly *outside* your own workplace then?

treeship., Sunday, 16 May 2021 21:04 (two years ago) link

Well, he did become buddies with Epstein

B) hit on people at work?
C) both A and B?

Bachelor sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein gave Bill Gates advice on ending his marriage with Melinda after the Microsoft co-founder complained about her during a series of meetings at the money manager’s mansion, according to two people familiar with the situation.

Gates used the gatherings at Epstein’s $77 million New York townhouse as an escape from what he told Epstein was a “toxic” marriage, a topic both men found humorous.

The billionaire met Epstein dozens of times starting in 2011 and continuing through to 2014 mostly at the financier’s Manhattan home — a substantially higher number than has been previously reported.

Gates, in turn, encouraged Epstein to rehabilitate his image in the media following his 2008 guilty plea for soliciting a minor for prostitution, and discussed Epstein becoming involved with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
