Epstein files: Buffett says he hasn’t talked to Bill Gates ‘since the whole thing unveiled’

“I haven’t talked to him at all since the whole thing was unveiled,” Buffett told CNBC’s Becky Quick.

“I don’t want to be in a position where I know things … to be called as a witness,” he added.

Buffett talked at length about the notorious sex offender Epstein, whose friendship with Gates and other high-profile people had led to damaging fallout for them as the details of their relationships have emerged with the release of the so-called Epstein files in recent months.

“It is astounding to me that anyone could be that successful as a con man,” Buffett said.

“Men are going to like sex … and some of them are going to like not paying taxes, and he figured out their weaknesses,” Buffett said.
