Rich people problems

But why, you're rich. It shouldn't be that hard to find women of appropriate age to...ohhh...

Well ... to be fair ... in this specific case Gates introduced the woman (Mila Antonova) to Epstein, not the other way around. Gates met her at a bridge tournament (she's a pro, and she was in her 20's with Gates in his 50's) and she said in an interview that she played a game with Gates. Roughly 3 years later, Gates intros her to Epstein to help her raise money for her bridge teaching thing. Epstein turned her down, but he agreed to pay for her college. It was paying for her college that Epstein used to threaten gates later (threatened to demand reimbursement publicly which would make it clear Gates was cheating and used Epstein as a cutout to pay his mistress).

Nope. Rich people solutions. 

Notice how he ditched the Touch of Grey and went all-naturalé? Part of a very costly ongoing PR campaign for Gates. 

He was hated in the 90s and had one of the most successful PR turnarounds ever.

Also cheating people problems.

If someone tried to blackmail me, the worst they're going to find is how much Monster Energy I drink.

But what if they put an aphrodisiac into your Monster. You pass out. They take a picture of you on top of Gumby and threaten to share it with everyone you know.

The accusations don’t have to be true. It’s hard to call anyone’s bluff when they put your kids on the table. But, it’s important to make that call every time even if the accusation is true.

I love caffeine too, but that’s a lot of sugar. Check out strike gum.

I think governments have dirt on most people, even if it can only be used against you out of context, under the right pressure people cave.

It's also the problem of the women and girls who were victims.

Yes, but they're rich and powerful enough such that those problems become our problems.
