  My favorite part of this story is how, after Gates describes Epstein's lifestyle as “kind of intriguing” in an email, his spokeswoman then clarifies that his words were “in no way meant to convey a sense of interest”. Apparently neither of them know what “intriguing” means!

  As awful as Epstein was and as important bas it is to ferret out his ties, this doesn't look like much of a story. Bill Gates Met With Jeffrey Epstein Many Times, Despite His Past https://nyti.ms/2VA9cNY

  “Gates and the $51 billion Gates Foundation have championed the well-being of young girls. By the time Gates and Epstein first met, Epstein had served jail time for soliciting prostitution from a minor and was required to register as a sex offender.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Wild how often billionaire “philanthropy” ends up in proximity to dark stuff. Mind you I bet JK Rowling would never have ended up at any of these dinners or writing these odd emails BEFORE the guy had gone to jail for soliciting minors, never mind AFTER. https://www.nytimes.com/.…
