I was foolish': Bill Gates says he deeply regrets spending any time with disgraced Epstein

One of the world's richest men, Bill Gates, has broken his silence following allegations surfacing in the latest round of documents released regarding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

'The focus was always, he knew a lot of very rich people and he was saying he could get them to give money to global health,' Gates said in an interview with Nine News on Wednesday.

Gates gave his 'only Australian TV interview' with the network during a trip to the country for the Australian Open, which ran from January 12 to February 1 at Melbourne Park.

The billionaire continued: 'You know, in retrospect that was a dead end and I was foolish to spend time with him. I am one of many people who regret ever knowing him.

'Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. That email was never sent. The email is, you know, false.

'I don't know what his thinking was there. Every minute that I spent with him, I regret and I apologise that I did that.

"he deeply regrets spending any time with disgraced Epstein"

Classic "I'm sorry I got caught" apology.

The classic remorse of a criminal caught.

Worth less than the paper you wipe your arse with.

Spending time? Didn’t he get a STD from a girl and then slip his wife antibiotics without her knowing?

Sounds like Gates might be trying to get ahead of something he knows is on the way.

He was more than “foolish”. He’s a perverted, twisted, pedo psycho who needs to be behind bars.

Epstein ended up in prison. When does Bill start doing his time?

How sorry is he for being friends with Al Gore and pushing Global Warming/Climate Change/Climate Disruption and depopulation-ism? He could at least give us a chance against AI and bring back DOS...

One thing I’ve noticed about these guys is that almost all of them were the type of guys that didn’t have a chance for relationships in high school. It’s like they are trying to relive their school years when they do these things.

Tough crowd.

The Rich and Powerful were the Marks. The underage chicks were the Bait.

The whole thing stinks of the CIA, but we won’t talk about that.

Bill’s apology should end with him turning state’s evidence, though. Get the dirtbags behind this before they all hang themselves.

Thankfully for him, Trump wants us to move on. Victims be damned.
