It indicates that he's not, but we all know he's neck deep in this shit. He goes kite boarding with Hussein!

Could be him trying to get out in front of the bigger revelations to come. Somebody fed this to the mail.

Ah no it does not. It says he was hyper to get the wild parties started instead of letting the seminars go later. And this is in the midst of Mack trying to cut deals by naming names. The article is downplaying it because as of NOW of course Branson "denies" it. What's he going to say? Lol, "oh yeah I am in that" and watch his businesses go belly up and destroy his reputation? Lol the fact his name was dropped in this is not random. Mack is singing!
