The Bill Gates foundation almost certainly used Epstein's network to provide financing for legitimate businesses and charities. The vast majority involved would be convinced they're making the world a better place.

Flippant comments (Like photos) don't necessarily mean well known. Especially when it comes to particularly sadistic pleasure activities,

Epstein had billions tied up in money making schemes from just about every industry. A Lot of people tied to his finances - possibly Gates for example - would be anxious to get abandon ship before it sinks.

So if the official story was true it makes sense that Gates would keep ties. Nah, who am I kidding, he probably been eating babies since the taint of his first billion.

No amount of money in the world justified the crimes he committed.

Enabling one evil to banish another only exist in hypotheticals and the conscious of the wicked.

Money and financing for charity can be had without sponsoring Epstein. Bill Gates of all people would have access to sufficient funding for any charity endeavour he has taken on.

If Bill Gates lost all his money and access, he would still be better off than most by a large margin. He is extremely unlikely to end up worse off than Epstein's victims.

crimes he committed

That's my entire point. I made no claim about weighing up hypotheticals on an ethical scale.
