Buffett Distances Himself from Gates, Epstein Scandal

It's March 31st, I'm Cory with the story, and this is entertainment and celebrity news

today, your AI-powered entertainment report.

Warren Buffett, the 95-year-old billionaire, says he hasn't spoken to Bill Gates since

those Epstein files dropped back in December 20th, 25.

He's keeping his distance to avoid getting dragged in as a witness, and he never even met

Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in prison.

Here this week on March 31st, Buffett called Epstein a straight-up con man who prayed

on rich folks' weaknesses like sex or dodging taxes.

Gates met Epstein a few times chasing philanthropy support, but now admits it was a huge mistake

with no illicit stuff involved.

Gates faced heat from Epstein's old emails claiming he caught a sexually transmitted

infection from Russian women and tried to cover it up.

Gates owned up to two affairs during his marriage, but denied everything else, apologizing

to his foundation staff.

Buffett poured over $43 billion into the Gates Foundation since 2006, but he quit the

board right after Gates' divorce and admits he didn't dig deep enough back then.

He also shaded Gates' old science advisor, Boris Nikolik, as bad news tied to Epstein's

schemes.

Now Buffett's holding off on his usual June donation, waiting to see how Congress reacts,

figuring it'll spark big changes for foundations like it did.

Back in the late 1960s, the saga's far from over.
