Is Bill Gates’s Mom Related to Ghislaine Maxwell?

No.

A viral internet conspiracy claims that Bill Gates’s mother, Mary Gates (née Maxwell), is related to Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The conspiracy is often accompanied by a photo that has made the rounds of the internet by itself as well, allegedly depicting Bill Gates with Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.

The photograph is of Schneerson, but the other individual in the picture is not Gates. The photo is from a 2014 article published by the Jerusalem Post written by Yosef I. Abramowitz, and the article notes that the picture is of Abramowitz meeting Schneerson in 1992.

    Now I'm disappointed. The world is never as exciting as the internet tells us it is.

    Thank you for your fact checking of all these odd controversies. I wonder who these people are that even start these in the first place?

    This is probably old news to y'all, but this policy report from an Austrailian Cyber Sercurity think tank is a great look at how we got here. Qanon plus other players. As a Christian, this shouldn't surprise me, cause the original conspiracy was when the serpent asked, "Did God really say...?"

    No, I don't get it yet. Even if that was true, what is their point?

    Thanks for the fact check!
