The Bill Gates foundation almost certainly used Epstein’s network to provide financing for legitimate businesses and charities. The vast majority involved would be convinced they’re making the world a better place.

Flippant comments (Like photos) don’t necessarily mean well known. Especially when it comes to particularly sadistic pleasure activities,

Epstein had billions tied up in money making schemes from just about every industry. A Lot of people tied to his fincamces - possibly Gates for example - would be anxious to get abandon ship before it sinks.

So if the official story was true it makes sense that Gates would keep ties. Nah, who am I kidding, he probably been eating babies since the taint of his first billion.
