Hookers, hookers and more hookers.
Girlfriends too.

Epstein was just a part of the story.

How Melinda put up with all of this for so long is the real mystery.

He comes across as a total geek and a very serious person. Its tough to imagine him going after women and girls. Hell, I can't even imagine him having sex.

To help with the divorce settlement.

The public stories right now are about how she threw in the towel when she heard about her husband's involvement with
Epstein, that has to come from her.

Facts have been printed occasionally in the past. Bill Gates has weekends away with ex-girlfriends.
He is seen late at night in sketchy bars with his bodyguards, picks up women and is dancing with groups of women.
If you google these topics you will see the articles.

I happen to belong to several excellent dishing forums. There are certain groups of well informed folks who know the scoop on everyone. So if you know where to look, you will find out most anything.

Google:
"Bill Gates Tears Up the Dance Floor with Hot Chicks."

(He is dancing in a circle with women, one of whom doesn't seem to be wearing a lot of clothes.)

Google: Bill Gates dancing.

Google: "Bill Gates once partied with hot women at Sundance"

Google: "Bill Gates seen dancing a popular Miami nightclub."

Google: "Bill Gates 'womanizer' held nude parties."


I could go on an on but you get the drift.

Epstein got his tentacles around the rich and powerful across the planet, convincing them that money and power entitled them to taboo things like fucking children.

It's why he was never going to see the inside of a courtroom.

If Gates was a client, it's no surprise.

You don't get a fractured hyoid and larynx from a bed sheet in a jail cell specifically designed to prevent an effective hanging.

That would have taken am aggressive choke hold by a buy who was bigger than he was.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

I'm not saying there's no possibility he was killed, but the hyoid fracture is not definitive, by any means.

in a cell designed to prevent a suicidal inmate from achieving enough leverage to do either.

Now if they'd asphyxiated him in a more gentle matter, then posed him with his pants down and his hands as though they'd fallen away from his groin, that might be believable.

Fractured hyoid and larynx? Temporary outage of the cell camera? 2 guards asleep at the same time? Alone in his cell when rules demanded a cellmate?

Sorry, too much there to be happy coincidence. Guy was whacked.
