The Department of Justice released 3.5 million pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents containing shocking allegations against Microsoft founder Bill Gates, which a Gates spokesperson categorically denied as “completely false.”
What the Documents Reveal
The released files include draft emails allegedly written by Epstein impersonating Gates’ science adviser Boris Nikolic in July 2013. These emails contained explicit accusations about Gates’ personal conduct, including claims about extramarital affairs and medical issues. The documents suggest Epstein was attempting to leverage compromising information against the tech billionaire during what appears to have been marital troubles between Bill and Melinda Gates.
I know karma exists because Bill Gates is obsessed with his reputation and now the entire world knows he got an std from Russian hookers and gave it to his wife.

According to the files, Epstein drafted multiple versions of emails describing alleged inappropriate behavior and claiming Gates requested assistance with personal matters. The convicted financier appeared to be crafting a narrative involving Gates’ relationship with Russian bridge player Mila Antonova, whom Epstein had previously used as leverage against Gates in 2017 when attempting to coerce him into joining a charitable fund.
Gates Foundation Connections
The documents also reference potential business dealings between Epstein and the Gates Foundation, mentioning former Harvard President Larry Summers and suggesting unfinished agreements. These references align with previous reports about Epstein’s attempts to establish credibility through association with prominent philanthropic organizations and academic institutions. The emails indicate Epstein was frustrated by his inability to maintain an ongoing relationship with Gates.
Response and Context
A Gates spokesperson firmly rejected all allegations, stating they demonstrate “Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.” Gates has consistently maintained that his interactions with Epstein focused solely on philanthropic efforts. The couple divorced in 2021, with Melinda French Gates later founding Pivotal Ventures, a women-focused investment firm. These latest revelations add another chapter to the ongoing scrutiny of powerful figures’ connections to the disgraced financier.
