I’m reading this as he was a regular guy that may have asked some women out a few times given the hyperbole and dissembling around this entire thing.

Bobby is the same dude who left a voicemail threatening to kill an employee.

To put into context, he was a close associate of one Jeffery Epstein, and in his book of clients and close associates. Why? Hard to say, Epstein wasn’t really in the games industry.

That’s really just the beginning of it, Kotick is quite a prolific pos himself: https://nypost.com/2021/11/16/activision-ceo-threatened-to-h.... And he’s alleged to have covered up sexual assault at the company, which given the Epstein connections… tracks.

Everyone famous in the 90s in the eastern US was an associate of Epstein. He was a rich famous guy, it’s sort of expected.

I don't understand how this is supposed to exonerate anyone. Many accounts attest to the fact that Epstein's "interests" were hardly a secret. Donald Trump himself alluded[1] to it.

A rich famous guy who was known to be surrounded by underage women at all times, yeah. I'm not exonerating anyone.

Might want to check your sources

Hmm you're right, I was basing that on the fact that he was in the contact book and the flight logs, but I can't find any official sources corroborating the flight logs. So an acquaintance.
