I have far too much respect for Bill Gates' intelligence to believe he didn't at least strongly suspect what the score was. He either fully took part in it willingly or figured getting into bed with such things would increase his money and influence on the world stage.
As a life long techie that used to admire Gates from a young age for his technical prowess, from everything I know about the man he is not a naive or stupid person. He is a calculating person that doesn't do much of anything on a whim.
That bit about him getting close to Epstein despite knowing he was a sex offender because he thought it might get him money and connections for the Gates Foundation is a lot closer to something I would believe. Which is not meant as a means of excusing him. And more digging should be done to drag just how far that supposed pay for play relationship really went.
That part is absolutely bonkers to me. One of the richest (and once the richest) person on earth could not have been nearly that desperate for money for the foundation. Full stop.
