Bill Gates admitted on Tuesday that he had extramarital affairs with two Russian women, but insisted that neither of them were victims of Jeffrey Epstein.
In a rare moment of candor, Bill Gates has admitted to having extramarital affairs with two Russian women, trying to salvage his reputation. The billionaire broke his silence on the questionable encounters with Jeffrey Epstein that still haunt him today, trying to distance himself from the shady network.
Specifically, during a closed-door meeting with Gates Foundation employees, the billionaire Microsoft founder apologized for his contacts with the convicted pedophile, while insisting that his personal connections did not include victims of the network.
Chronicle of relationships and blackmail
According to audio recordings uncovered by the Wall Street Journal, Bill Gates appeared candid about his past. “I had affairs, one with a Russian bridge player and one with a Russian nuclear physicist I met through my business activities,” he told his employees. And yet, the case is taking on the dimensions of a thriller, as Jeffrey Epstein is alleged to have been aware of these relationships and used them as a means of pressure.
Specifically, Jeffrey Epstein allegedly threatened Bill Gates in 2013 when the latter refused to fund a bridge academy. The financier had met with player Mila Antonova and covered her tuition, information he later used to suggest he could expose the billionaire. Bill Gates has maintained that he was not involved in any illegal acts, stressing: "I did nothing illegal. I saw nothing illegal. I never spent time with the victims or the women around him."
Acceptance of the "fatal mistake"
As reported by the environment of the charitable organization, Bill Gates described his acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 as a moment that he deeply regrets. At the same time, documents from the US Department of Justice confirm that their meetings were regular and included trips on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane to destinations such as France, Germany and New York.
Melinda French Gates had expressed strong opposition to this recognition as early as 2013, but Bill Gates continued to contact her at least until 2014. According to him, their discussions were exclusively about philanthropy, although he now admits that he had not properly examined his interlocutor's past. "Knowing what I know now, the situation is a hundred times worse. It is clear that there was ongoing bad behavior," he confessed to his staff.
Shock at the Gates Foundation
Analysts say Bill Gates' public confession is a desperate attempt at damage control as the release of new files in the Jeffrey Epstein case threatens the Foundation's prestige. His cancellation of an AI conference in India at the last minute is seen as a direct result of the pressure he is under.
Despite the fact that Bill Gates has taken responsibility, the connection of his name with Jeffrey Epstein remains an open wound for one of the world's largest charitable organizations. The Foundation's management has clarified that it has never had financial transactions with the financier, but the shadow of its founder's personal choices continues to raise questions about the crisis and his connections at the top of the global elite. /Pamphlet/
