Did Epstein play a role in the divorce between Bill and Melinda Gates?
Melinda Gates, now divorcing Bill, was reportedly "furious" after the couple had an unpleasant encounter in 2013 with Jeffrey Epstein – who at the time was a convicted pedophile, according to direct witnesses.
They told the Daily Beast , the previously unreported meeting was held at Epstein's Upper East Side mansion in September 2013, the same day the couple received the Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award at the Pierre Hotel, where were photographed with then-mayor Mike Bloomberg.
According to reports, the 2013 meeting " would prove to be a turning point for Gates' relationship with Epstein, " with Melinda telling friends after the meeting how uncomfortable she was hanging around with the wealthy sex offender.
According to the New York Times , Gates and Epstein met at least six times, including visits to Epstein's mansion in New York on "multiple occasions," staying at least once overnight.
So – the Gates had no trouble traveling across the country to meet the convicted pedophile – who appointed Gates counselor Boris Nikolic as secondary executor in an Epstein-modified will a few days before his death in August 2019 in a cell. of jail in Manhattan.
Now, eight years later, Melinda apparently had a problem.
Gates thought Epstein's lifestyle was "somewhat intriguing"
In a 2011 email to colleagues, Gates wrote, "His lifestyle is very different and intriguing even if it doesn't suit me."
A spokesperson for Gates, Bridgitt Arnold, said she "was referring only to the unique decor of Epstein's residence – and Epstein's habit of spontaneously bringing acquaintances to meet Mr. Gates," adding "It was in no way intended to convey a sense of interest or approval. Perhaps Gates was caught off guard by "Epstein's main corridor which was covered with rows of artificial eyeballs from England that had been made for wounded soldiers" (via the Daily Mail).
Also contradicting Gates' distance are flight records, which reveal that " Gates flew with Epstein from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach on March 1, 2013 ", on Epstein's private jet – " one of the few flights that year in which pilot Larry Viskoski registered a passenger's name, “According to the Daily Mail. Gates claimed he didn't know this was Epstein's plane! The beauty is that Bill has his own $ 40 million plane.
Meanwhile, Gates Foundation employees also visited Epstein's mansion on multiple occasions, while Epstein also "spoke with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and JPMorgan Chase about a proposed multi-billion dollar charity fund, a deal that had the potential to generate huge commissions for Epstein, ”according to The Times.
In late 2011, according to Mr. Gates' instructions, the foundation sent a team to Mr. Epstein's residence to give a preliminary talk about philanthropic fundraising, according to three people who were there. Mr. Epstein told his guests that if they looked up his name on the Internet they could conclude that he was a bad person, but that what he had done – soliciting prostitution of an underage girl – was no worse than "stealing a bagel". .
The first meeting between Bill Gates and Epstein took place in 2011 through those who were executives of Microsoft at the time and, as we said, have gone on for at least two years. Microsoft even donated $ 2 million to the Epstein-linked MIT Media Lab. Could these friendships and encounters, albeit years later, have had an influence on the powerful couple?
