      Not for me. Focusing on assumptions and assumptions are not very convincing.

      I find it crazy that the video owner thought of Bill Gates as a “lovable grandpa” until 6 months ago.

      This video broadcasts how personally disappointed this video maker is that Bill Gates is not a paragon of virtue, but it doesn’t really provide a solid foundation for the Epstein Gates relationship.

      And I have to say it, apart from the circumstantial evidence, the fact that he looks like Charlie in conspiracy mode does not help.

      He keeps remarking how strange it is. That gates would downplay any interactions with Epstein no matter how innocuous, and says that he can’t understand why you would downplay that.

      But of course gates wouldn’t want to be associated with Epstein and wood down play any relationship they had whether they were friends or acquaintances?

      It would be very damaging to your reputation regardless of the relationship, so I don’t think that’s very strong evidence either.

      I’ve heard all this circumstantial logic for the past couple years, but I don’t think it carries much weight with regards to Gates being amoral on the same level that Epstein was, or much more than an obscenely powerful man.

      Having said that, thanks for sharing the video, I wondered if there was any more concrete evidence that has been released or developed since I last looked into gates.

      The problem is that we don’t know if he’s lying about his connections with Epstein because he did something horrific through him or if he just thinks it ruins the ‘aw shucks, I’m just a regular guy’ image he’s tried very carefully to cultivate for decades.

      Because honestly, for someone like that, an ego hit is enough.
