I’m not Gates fan but this is a plausible explanation. The world of billionaires and multi-multi-millionaires is pretty small so I’m sure its not unusual for them to bump into each other from time to time.
I agree. When you’re a billionaire you find yourself in billionaire social circles. Not surprising.
Gates knew Jeff’s love of Young girls and most likely knew of the solicitation organization and still met with him.
I dont accept his actions.
I look at how Bill Gates made a large part of his money early on (patent poaching against small players who didn’t have the money to successfully defend their intellectual property against Microsoft’s lawyer corps in the court system) and nothing he could be accused of now strikes me as improbable. But then I followed the court cases back in the early and mid eighties.
