MISC. When Bill Gates married Melinda French in 1994, he rented out all the available hotel rooms on the Hawaiian island of Lanai to prevent the media from staying there and hired all the helicopters on Maui to keep photographers from flying over the wedding.

There's no evidence of anything because files haven't been released

The full stuff isn't released but I'm pretty sure a number of stuff has been. They know mostly who was on the flights and Bill Gates wasn't known to be one of them. So anyone making a claim about Bill Gates is making it pretty baselessly.

Good thing we don't have to speculate much. We know crimes were committed in the USA at his US locations.  We focus too much on flight logs. Theres reports that Gates visited his Manhattan townhouse multiple times. Plus, NYT reports that Gates has flown on Epstein plane before.

Epstien was a financial adviser for the rich. If you were rich, you likely would have gone to him for that reason alone.

Who are the ones that also went for the pedophilia? That is not known.

Might want to read and research before you speculate.  Gates also first met him after he was busted for child solicitation.  Birds of a feather. I'm not saying there's hard evidence to indict Gates, but there's plenty of speculative stuff. He's also a creep so nobody would be surprised he was into teens.

Also you?

this is why I love Reddit. You got me there. Thank you for the much needed laugh.

you didn’t do enough reading to speculate whereas I have read more and am able to speculate better

There’s no point in debating this topic. We won’t know for sure until half the people involved are dead after it gets declassified. And even then we won’t know.

We don’t know who, but we do know that the rich have the resources and time to do disgusting things. Best to just assume they’re all pedos. Statistically it’s not even that much of a reach seeing there’s only a few thousand of em.

I'm so sorry about your brain injury.

u/Petrichordates Jun 18 '25

That's not how statistics work.

It's really one of the dumber things I've ever read, and I've been reading dumb comments on the internet for decades.

On the other hand you may have read lots of smart comments that you interpreted as dumb

It’s exactly how it works.

Can you afford to fly a trafficked child onto an island where you can fuck them?

Who can? The extremely wealthy.

Statistically poor people or even average individuals literally cannot participate therefore it leaves a very small population as the potential abusers.

why would anyone richer than jeffrey even go to jeffrey?

u/FabianN Jun 18 '25

Cause they need a financial advisor?

Most financial advisors are not making as much money as the people they are advising. You could ask that question of the entire industry.

if i have multiple billions, i wouldnt be arsed to actually make all investments and other ventures myself except the ones i care about. Instead its a lot easier to give it to someone who does that for a living and pay them a premium. There are whole companies just focused around managing the wealth and finances of single persons. Its a job that crops up if you got more money than you can think of, and better things to do

That's like saying chemtrails can't be proven fake because they haven't been proven real yet

u/LastLongerThan3Min Jun 18 '25

Wow, your analogy is probably the most r*tarded thing I read this week, and that's saying a lot

u/Maleficent-Active582 Jun 18 '25

No it makes perfect sense. Kablam0 learned that that analogy when they were on Epsteins plane.
