Ok Bill, here's what you do:
- take 2% of your net worth (1% for each "affair")
- give it to a charity you funded
- make this charity buy Microsoft products
- brag on TV how generous you are
That's it. Legacy saved.
Keep in mind, this is just what he's actually admitting to. Like with all liars and cheats, the reality is usually much, much worse
He calls them women. Today maybe, but what were they back then?

I learn a lot about him from the fact that he apologizes to his staff but not the victims.
edit: I meant the survivors of the abuse network, sorry for not making that clearer.
They weren’t victims. They were both adults. This is your standard billionaire affair as far as we know.
pretty sure their talking about epstein survivors. I don't think anyone outside of personal acquaintances really care about the affairs at this point.
Is it confirmed that he abused children?
does it matter? it's pretty obvious everyone of a certain wealth knew exactly what epstein was up to. knowingly and intentionally having ties with someone like that is enough for the epstein victims to deserve more of an apology than his employees.

Who the fuck says they're not victims? Thousands of adults are victims of sex trafficking.

affair with 2 Russian women
Seriously, how long has Russia been playing this "let's get the world's rich and powerful in places where we can blackmail the shit out of them"?
Honeypots are not just Russian. A great many countries and organized crime use this and a wide range of dirty tricks.
Probably as long as Mossad and the CIA.
The economic depression in Eastern Europe during the 90s created a lot of desperate people and vulnerable children that monsters like Epstein could prey upon. That’s why many victims of his trafficking operation were Eastern European.
Just because Gates is claiming that he slept with two supposedly adult Russian women doesn’t mean they were part of a Russian honeypot. Considering these admissions come on the back of the Epstein files release, I’m more inclined to believe it’s a limited hangout intended to soften the blowback from some of the sick shit Bill was alleged to have done with his friend, a known pedophile and child trafficker.
I still want an investigation.
“Women.”
Melinda didn’t divorce him because he cheated. That’s par for the billionaire course.
“Every meeting where I was with him were meetings with men,” Gates said. “I was never at any parties or anything like that."
There's more. Keep digging.
Who among us hasn't tried to secretly slip their spouse some illegally obtained antibiotics so that they don't discover you gave them an STD you caught while cheating on them at the home of your pedophile sex trafficking Mossad blackmailer buddy, in an attempt to stop them getting some of your billions of dollars in a divorce? I mean come on, is that really so bad?
If he is introducing unknown trojans to Melinda, how can we trust Microsoft Windows 12 Copilot ShittyOS-1?
No, no, Trojans would have helped prevent the STIs
Panic behavior. This doesn't fly anymore
It kinda does tho.
The parasite class might think this is enough for a performative closure but the vines are burning.
Strange he's apologizing for the women he cheated with but not the crotch rot.
Even if the claim of an STD is the single untruth in a sea of other now-admitted truths relating to his serial adulteries, just the fact that he was that careless should not be going without comment.
She's well out of that marriage.
Yeah no this doesn't go away with a half-assed apology to the wrong people. If he wants absolution he knows what he has to do
Nothing illicit? He thinks random Russian women want to have an affair with a married man for innocent personal reasons?
Not saying hes telling the truth, but I think being a billionaire attracts women on its own
Sure, but the fact that Epstein was so involved as to be his go to person to find ways to administer the std drugs to his wife is so fucking weird.
Were they just besties with utmost confidence due to their shared love for philanthropy? Or the known human trafficker facilitated or even arranged the affair?
My favorite opener for a while was “would you let bill gates have sex with you whenever he chose, for a full year, for a billion dollars?” It’s a question that got people going.
I knew I could respect anyone who replied affirmatively or questioned why I decided to start the conversation that way. These were reasonable folks who held an understanding of the vastness of a billion dollars, or saw how unsettling I or my question were.
The rare few were revolted by the premise. Either replying homophobically or in disgust at gates himself. These people were usually either not too bright or trying to put on a facade, in one respect or another.
Which is to say, discarding the idea of gaining a large sum of money is just not something that most reasonable people do. And many people view him less as a person and more as a portal to his treasury, until they’re forced to think about him. I agree with you
I would probably do it. Bill Gates is probably not willing to do it that often. I'm probably not his type, and the logistics of him showing up to whenever I am make it even less likely. I'm thinking maybe once or twice in a year, and a billion dollars is a lot of money.
Bro this exact scenario is what Clippy is modeled after. He will keep popping up. Again, and again. His work ethic boning you in a year is like those inspirational speeches, "Sleep? Sleep is for people who are broke." He usually doesnt enjoy it but he's getting that ROI.
That’s where I settled as well. “Change the world” level money for, at most, a few hundred hours of work. Probably closer to a dozen, if that. You’d be a fool to pass it up
So brave.
