Is that quote about Epstein or Bill Gates? Or both?

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 45 points 1 month ago

That's a good question and I wonder how aware of his exhusband's fast "friendship" and the fact he was a guest to his ~~island~~ nyc subsidiary in multiple occasions, because their divorce came quickly after the revelation.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 52 points 1 month ago

For the record, Gates did NOT go to the island, ever. Not even once.

He was a frequent guest at Epstein's Manhattan penthouse, but never the island. He refuses to say why he never went to the island, other than saying it's not for him. It is rumored he caught an STD from someone at the penthouse.

None of this excuses Gates, since he clearly associated with Epstein. Just correcting the record on a detail.

[-] gramie@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

The rumor came from an email written by Epstein himself, so it's either a malicious rumor or a fact.

[-] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 month ago

how could you source such a fact?

considering i am not a courthouse, nor will this case ever see the inside of one, i disagree with your premise.

im glad we have a lying pedophiles word that he never went to pedophile island.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Wait a second, we have no proof that you didn't go to Epstein island.

[-] freeman@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

We don't need proof. There is no indication he knew Epstein or that he even is part of the class that could visit the island.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

Dude, it's right there in the title.

[-] DrCake@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

It was a rhetorical question. I know she said that about Epstein, but what about her husband who socialised with him plus the business practises at Microsoft

[-] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

I am sure she was fine with it because she married him and grew rich off his unethical business practices. She got what she wanted.

[-] bizarroland@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I don't quite understand why or how we try to give the wives of these evil megalomaniac billionaires a free pass.

They are either complicit, helping them to be evil megalomaniac billionaires, or they simply do not care what the evil megalomaniac billionaires do as long as they get to live the rich life.

[-] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

The reason is sexism.

Either people believe the wives to be innocent because something something men suck women are the best and can do no wrong unlike evil men,

Or

People believe the wives re innocent becausw they think the women too dumb to know what was going on or too disinterested to find out.

Both are sexist bullshit pushed by people who don't understand the rich are all in it together, and are all opposed to being held accountable by the poors

yup pretty much every time ive met someone from the c-suite at a company, and especially CEOs. every single one of them that i have met have given me major ick vibes. like they dont see the people who work for them as human.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

A chunk of CEOs are sociopaths, and they’re all certainly some form of dictator. Either way, they all are completely divorced from the consequences of their decisions with the only exceptions being their ability to be profitable and maintain a favorable image. Piss off other rich people and you’re done.

[-] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Worse than sociopaths sometimes. The Dark Triad is a personality cluster of narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy combined. Found in CEOs among other groups.

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Some places you feel it physically when the office doors open. One company, literally the evilest of all, I was in their building meeting with another company who was a tenant, and you felt in the fucking lobby downstairs.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I've been disappointed watching billionaires discuss the evils of Donald and Epstein and, presumably having some very intimate knowledge of the two and their crimes (in Gates' case via her former marriage), and still opt not to disclose it to the public.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

No good billionaires

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Yes, and you married one, and now you're whitewashing yourself.

[-] Mickey42302@crazypeople.online 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"Have you ever been around someone you just know is evil?"

Allow me to answer that question: yes. Years ago, my father was married to someone else. During the divorce, she sent my father a letter saying that he would "lose his kids" if he left her. Sadly, she kept her promise. My half-siblings think my father is the bad guy and won't talk to him. In reality, the divorce happened because his ex-wife was abusive and got caught cheating.

I have screenshots of email conversations between them too. If you want to see proof of how abusive his ex-wife is, you can find them here: https://imgur.com/a/email-screenshots-UpFYWfW

how bout talk about his pseudo-philantropy as a way to distract from his epstein ties, you mustve known. besides the way he uses his "charity" has been criticized by at least africa for the covid vaccines.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
