And she got rid of him when she found out.

[-] dezmd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

He had several affairs become public, and that's what led to the divorce, don't just make shit up. Qanon is not a reliable source.

Wait, what? What's the context?

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Bill Gates

a) is a billionaire

b) met with Epstein many times

c) got his ass divorced because she found about his affair with a 20 year old, which Epstein knew about

Ok. Where can I read more about the affair with the 20-year-old?

This is the original report, but I don't know how to do the thing to stop paywalls

From her Wikipedia article:

According to The Wall Street Journal, Melinda Gates had been meeting with divorce lawyers since at least October 2019 after Bill's business dealings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein became public, and she had warned him about associating with Epstein as early as 2013.

That's circumstantial evidence. I'm not saying Gates is a saint. It's just that no one has given me real proof of that claim.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

You asked for context; not evidence.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You're right, friend. Thanks for the context.
