Gates also expressed the opinion that Epstein might have known about his affairs and used this information for blackmail. In the "Epstein files," which were published, there is a draft email written in 2013 in which Epstein claims that he helped Gates with medication to combat "the consequences of sex with Russian girls," hinting at possible sexually transmitted infections.
In the same email, he warns: "Bill could turn from the richest man into a great hypocrite, and Melinda (Gates' ex-wife) into an object of ridicule," adding that the two women could suddenly become a sensation. It is worth noting that Bill and Melinda Gates' divorce took place in 2021 after 27 years of marriage.
Additionally, Gates confirmed that he met with Epstein after 2011, when Epstein had already been convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution. However, the billionaire assured that he did not observe or engage in anything illegal in his relationship with Epstein.
