Tuesday, February 24 Bill Gates was presented to the public assembly before the staff of the Gates Foundation. It is a meeting that is held twice a year, but this time the topics to be discussed were not only philanthropic projects, but also the private life of the co-founder of Microsoft and his link with Jeffrey Epstein.
As reported exclusively The Wall Street Journal, Gates assumed in front of everyone present that He had two extramarital affairs with Russian women, while still was married to Melinda French Gatesand that Epstein later discovered it.
Without giving names, he mentioned that he had amorous adventures with a «Russian bridge player» that he met at bridge events and another «Russian nuclear physics» that he met through commercial activities.
He was categorical that none of his lovers was a victim of network of sexual exploitation and trafficking of minors associated with the deceased financier. «I didn’t do anything illegal and I didn’t see anything illegal»Gates declared.
He assured that the images from Epstein’s files, recently declassified, where he is seen hugging two different women – whose faces are censored – are actually photos that Epstein asked him to take with his assistants after their meetings.
«To be clear, I never spent time with the victims, the women around him«Gates emphasized. «It was a serious mistake to spend time with Epstein and invite Gates Foundation executives to meetings with him, and I apologize to anyone involved in this because of my mistake,» he added.
The billionaire acknowledged having met with Epstein starting in 2011 and flew on a private jet with Epstein to Germany, France, New York and Washington. At that time, Epstein had already pleaded guilty to «soliciting the prostitution of a minor» in 2008.
Gates stated that he was aware that the financier had had a problem with Justice for 18 months, that he had limited his travels but assured that he «did not adequately verify his background.»
He said Epstein had many contacts with Wall Street billionaires and they had talked about raising money for causes such as global health.
«Knowing what I know now makes it a hundred times worsenot only because of his past crimes, but because it is clear that his bad behavior persisted«Gates lamented to the staff.
Gates admitted that his email exchange with Epstein, recently revealed from Justice Department files, cast a shadow over the Gates Foundation and its reputation.
«It’s definitely the opposite of values and goals, and our work is very sensitive to reputation, because people can choose to work with us or not based on that,» Gates lamented.
Gates stated that 2014 was the last year he met with Epstein. «After that, he kept sending me emails, but I never responded to him again,» he said.
In dialogue with the magazine Peoplea spokesperson for the Gates Foundation guaranteed that the magnate «spoke frankly, addressed several issues in detail and took responsibility for his actions«.
Jeffrey Epstein’s controversial email about Bill Gates’ «infidelities»
Among the newly revealed emails were two messages Epstein sent to himself in July 2013which appear to be drafts: the first is a resignation letter from Gates’ then-science advisor, Boris Nikolicand the second referred to a Gates’ «marriage dispute».
In one of those emails Epstein wrote: «Bill risks going from being the richest man to being the biggest hypocriteand Melinda the laughing stock, and as a result, the promises will disappear.»
But Epstein also accused Gates, 70, of contracting a sexually transmitted infection from «Russian girls» and then asking Gates for help to hide it from his then-wife, Melinda.
After the dissemination of those messages, Gates’ spokesperson described Epstein’s claims as «absolutely absurd and completely false.»
The release of the material occurs under the framework of the Epstein Archives Transparency Act, which was approved in November. The documentary collection includes thousands of emails, photos and court records that mention various high-profile figures.
«More than heartbreaking»: Melinda Gates’ reaction to Jeffrey Epstein’s leaked email
Asked about it by journalist Rachel Martin on the podcast Wild Card de National Public Radio (NPR), Melinda Gates did not avoid the issue. The first thing he said was that the release of the Epstein case files means that society is going through «a reckoning.»
«No girl should be put in the situation they were put in by Epstein. and whatever was going on with all the various people around him; It’s just beyond heartbreaking,» he said.
He added that the details that came to light with the release of the files bring back «memories of very painful moments in my marriage.»
Melinda split from Gates in May 2021 after verifying that «the relationship was no longer healthy and I could not trust.» “I moved on, intentionally put it aside and moved on; I’m in an unexpectedly beautiful place in my life.so any questions left about what I can’t even fully know, are for those people, and even for my ex-husband; They need to respond to those things, not me.«, he stated.
He confessed that he feels sad when reading news articles that talk about the Epstein case and its link with Gates. «I’m able to take my own sadness and look at those girls and say: ‘My God, how did that happen to those girls?’«she said dismayed.
Jeffrey Epstein’s complete email that compromises Bill Gates
Dear Bill:
I can’t believe you decided to ignore the friendship we’ve developed over the past six years. I am aware that accidents happen, but the way each of us has decided to deal with this unfortunate event is what has me shocked beyond understanding.
You decided to fire me from my job, you had Larry, your public relations person, tell me that I have engaged in morally inappropriate behavior, asked me to be the main actor in a cover-up so that you can maintain your hard-earned reputation, asked me to recommit to a confidentiality agreement, and told me categorically that we cannot have any direct business relationship, with absolutely no regard for how it affects the public perception of my reputation. I’ll have to diligently avoid the truth, tell people that Bill won’t invest with me, and craft a response that fits your needs. But you agreed to be sent [sic] a letter of recommendation in case a future employer requests it.
You told me that Melinda insists that I not contact you unless Larry is present or copied. Although you have always claimed that I couldn’t have done a better job and that I was paid less than I deserved compared to my contribution, then, beyond all sense of fairness and, frankly, decency, you said that, as «generous» compensation for keeping Gates’ reputation intact, you would let me keep what we agreed was already mine (the investment pieces) and give me two years of severance pay, similar to Christine Turner. Another victim.

If the situation were the other way around, I would have said to Boris, «It’s not your fault. I confessed it to Melinda, not you. It was a moment of weakness and I will do everything in my power to make it up to you. I have more money than anyone needs and I assure you that I will do everything possible so that you are not harmed by my mistake. Luckily for me, I have enough money to provide you; although it will not heal the wound, it will give you security in your future. Furthermore, I will do everything I can to make sure that May your next career be rewarding and prosperous. I appreciate the fact that this drastically alters your plans and I am very aware of the career path you gave up to join the Foundation. I am very sorry, but I believe that time heals all wounds and this will eventually pass. In that sense, I suggest buying you the house you loved so much and, in addition to the five years of compensation, I will buy you the investment contract we had agreed on, between 30 and 40 percent of a hundred million partnership. dollars, for 30 million dollars at the current exchange rate. The terms and conditions will be agreed upon.” That’s what I would have done if I had been in your place.
However, what I received was a harsh, hostile email telling me how employable I am and that I should not expect any significant financial help from you in the future. To make matters worse, you implored me to delete the emails related to your STD, your request that I give you antibiotics that you could sneak to Melinda, and the description of your penis. You also made it clear to me that I should not talk about [NOMBRE CENSURADO]since it was another topic that had to remain between the two of us.
In exchange for all of these requests, which I would have fulfilled without a second thought, I must not attend meetings with Melinda, I must continue to provide you with the same level of service and dedication that I have so diligently provided to you until you are ready to part with me and our friendship.
