While his foundation did not explicitly address what Gates feared might distract from the intended focus of the summit, the latest release of Epstein files in late January intensified the controversy surrounding his ties to the disgraced financier.

Gates has said he “regrets” ever knowing Epstein after allegations that he hid a sexually transmitted disease from his then-wife after contact with “Russian girls” surfaced in the latest release of the Epstein files.

Growing up to see the media fawning over him and his "foundation" was annoying. Especially hearing how much of a jack ass CEO he was.

Now watching him fall is so fucking satisfying.

The foundation did a lot of good in the world. Shows that nobody is all good or all bad.

It reminds me of Budweiser canning water to hurricane Katrina victims. They'll spend $500,000 on the process and 3 million advertising they did it.

Just imagine how many orders of magnitude more good he could have done if he had simply paid his taxes like the rest of us, instead of playing the kind rich man peppering a tiny fraction of his obscene wealth on poor people here and there.

Which tax was he meant to pay that he didn't?
