Melinda Gates Was Reportedly Haunted by Bill’s Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein

Wow. This one is hard. Like most people, we liked both of them. But we had no idea that Bill Gates was “friends” with Epstein. From Rawstory:

Melinda Gates met with convicted s*x offender Jeffrey Epstein alongside her husband Bill in New York City and soon after said she was furious at the relationship between the two men, according to people familiar with the situation,” The Daily Beast reported Thursday evening. “The previously unreported meeting occurred at Epstein’s Upper East Side Mansion in September 2013, on the same day the couple accepted the Lasker Bloomberg Public Service Award at the Pierre Hotel and were photographed alongside then-mayor Mike Bloomberg.

Well, just that particular meeting wouldn’t be enough. Clearly, Melinda found out that Bill and Jeff knew each other from days past. Moreover, back in 2013, it was clear from the public record, and especially between these two, that Jeffery Epstein was a monster that preyed upon children.

“The ties between Gates and Epstein ran much deeper than the tech mogul first admitted. As The New York Times reported, starting in 2011, Gates met with Epstein on numerous occasions. This was three years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting an underage girl in Florida; by then, accusations that Epstein exploited girls and young women were widely reported in the press.”

Yes, any interaction with Epstein after the mid-2000s is unforgivable and suspect. Melinda had every right to be upset and Bill should have either known better or was there for the wrong reasons.

Bill Gates carried himself around as a man of near impeccable judgment and Melinda Gates carried herself around like a normal person, at least to those of us who have met them. Bill could be stiff and tough to know, but Melinda honestly never really changed from the woman who came to Microsoft to work and use her talents.

We dearly hope that something comes out proving that Bill only shared technical interests with Epstein. Epstein was interested in breaking technology and theoretical physics. It is possible the interests overlapped there. But it sounds like Melinda knows that there’s at least a chance that the interests don’t end there.

Very very odd and unexpected. As always, our thoughts, prayers, sympathy, and help is concentrated on the victims and their right to justice.
