evidence: In March 2014, Jeffrey Epstein took his private jet to Seattle to visit Bill Gates at his office. Epstein brought along a Polish model he had met a few months earlier. Dressed in a long gray coat, she posed for a photo with the Microsoft co-founder. Epstein took the picture. [...] As for Gates’ true relationship with Epstein, the most favorable interpretation of known events leaves him on the hook. A balanced discussion of this question is contained in a new book by progressive journalist Tim Schwab titled, "The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning With the Myth of the Good Billionaire." Schwab asserts that Gates’ explanations of his interactions with Epstein are plagued by "contradiction after contradiction." He writes: [...] Melinda French Gates herself publicly stated that she immediately saw Epstein for what he was and made her feelings known to Bill. "I also met Jeffrey Epstein—exactly one time," she said in a 2022 interview. "Because I wanted to see who this man was. And I regretted it from the second I stepped into the door. He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards."
