Diante do Comitê de Supervisão da Câmara dos Representantes, Bill Gates prestou depoimento sobre sua relação com Jeffrey Epstein, o financista condenado por crimes sexuais. O fundador da Microsoft reconheceu contatos profissionais entre 2011 e 2014, mas negou ter testemunhado qualquer conduta criminosa ou ter vitimizado alguém. O episódio revela como figuras de enorme influência podem orbitar ao redor de redes de abuso sem — segundo afirmam — perceber sua verdadeira natureza, e levanta questões duradouras sobre responsabilidade, ingenuidade e poder.

Limited direct consumer impact. Potential indirect effects include reduced confidence in Gates Foundation initiatives and possible donor hesitation toward philanthropic contributions associated with Gates-backed causes.
