Charlie, you may be absolutely correct regarding Gates --- but it doesnīt matter in the context you put it (Warrenīs reputation).
Admittedly because of what Melinda said (which I found thanks to you!), there might indeed be strong evidence for Billyboys wrongdoing (Evidence, not proof!). But
a) This does not change in the least that for me Gates is one of humankinds greatest benefactors (not because of, arrgghh, Microsoft; but because of his foundation). One should always differentiate between a man and his works. E.g. in Yoga there were many scandals about famous teachers exposed who abused their power to sexually exploit students. Does their personal failures diminish in any way their teaching? Not for me.
b) Your point that it damages Warrenīs reputation is wrong. For that it would be required that there is proof of Warren himself having had contact with Epstein after he was exposed.
c) Letīs assume for a moment you are right and it would damage Warrenīs reputation: Unfortunately Warrenīs reputation for what he built, for Berkshire Hathaway, is not of big concern any more, therefore itīs the wrong board. Find something that links Abel with Epstein and we listen.
