Bill Gates admits extramarital affairs, says Epstein tried blackmail

Bill Gates has revealed details about extramarital affairs and his past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, stating the financier attempted to exploit private information for blackmail.

“

It would appear that Mr. Epstein’s thinking was in that direction.

In a recently published testimony, the Microsoft co-founder admitted to having affairs with three women: Russian bridge player Mila Antonova, nuclear physicist Karima Nigmatulina, and medical entrepreneur Dr. Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt. He also acknowledged his relationship with Epstein was a mistake, regretting not taking Epstein's past conviction for soliciting a minor more seriously.

Gates stated he met Epstein about a dozen to fifteen times over four years, plus two Skype calls. He told the House Oversight Committee that while Epstein never succeeded in blackmailing him, the financier likely compiled negative information, including falsehoods, for his own purposes. Gates denied witnessing or participating in any sexual misconduct in Epstein's presence but acknowledged he might have unknowingly been in the company of victims.

“

I regret not taking that into greater consideration.

Investigators reviewed draft emails from Epstein in 2013 containing salacious allegations. Gates rejected these claims, asserting that Epstein probably recorded all potentially negative information he believed he possessed, including false elements, for his personal records. The discussions surrounding Gates' divorce have also been brought into the context of these revelations.

“

I think that Epstein, when he was writing emails to himself, would take all of the potentially negative information that he knew, including some that was completely false, and he would incorporate it into his draft emails.
