Gates also expressed the opinion that Epstein was aware of his affairs and intended to use this information for blackmail. In the so-called "Epstein files," a draft email was found that was never sent, in which Epstein claims he found medications for Gates that would help him deal with the "consequences of sex with Russian girls," hinting at possible sexually transmitted infections.
In this letter, Epstein also warns: "Bill risks becoming not only the richest man but also the biggest hypocrite, and his ex-wife Melinda could become a laughingstock," emphasizing that the two mentioned women could suddenly "become a sensation." It is worth noting that Gates and Melinda's divorce took place in 2021 after 27 years of marriage.
Additionally, Gates admitted that he met with Epstein after 2011, when he had already been convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution. However, he added that he saw nothing illegal in their interactions.
