this is so weird... I mean, who knew Bill Gates was friends with someone like that? 
He seems genuinely remorseful, though. I get it, hindsight is 20/20 and all that. It's good he's owning up to his mistake and apologizing for it.It's pretty wild that his ex-wife was like, "Hey, Bill, what were you thinking?"
I can see why she'd want him to clarify things, though. The whole thing is kinda shady... like, did Epstein just write a fake email to get under Gates' skin? 
Either way, it's good that Gates is being honest about his past association with Epstein.
