Jeffrey Epstein might be dead, but his partners in crime are still very much alive. Hence, the Wall Street Journal continues to shock the world with a series of reports on the convicted child rapist and his famous friends. In its latest expose, the Wall Street Journal got Bill Gates‘s spokesman to confess, on the record, that “Epstein tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship” — Gates’s 2010 affair with a 20-something Russian bridge player named Mila Antonova — to get the Microsoft co-founder to contribute to a multibillion-dollar charitable fund.
For years now, we’ve known that Gates continued to befriend Epstein well after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a middle school-aged child for prostitution. Gates, who allegedly cheated on his wife before their 2021 divorce with workplace subordinates, has long maintained that his association with Epstein was “solely for philanthropic purposes.” Those charitable intents reportedly included Epstein and Gates meeting with the Nobel Committee chairman, allegedly to help secure the tech giant’s lifelong dream of securing the Nobel Peace Prize.
THE LEFT’S LATEST EFFORT TO CONTROL THE COURT
Why did Gates, a self-made billionaire in his own right who founded the second-largest American company on the entire New York Stock Exchange, even consider Epstein, a fraudulent financier whose business dealings make even less sense the more we know about them, a crucial asset in his pursuit of a Nobel Prize? What could a convicted sex offender do in the world of highfalutin philanthropy that the fourth-richest man on the planet could not?
Well, increasingly, it seems that the Pizzagate nutjobs stumbled upon a very real point. After countless rumors and allegations, the Wall Street Journal has finally confirmed that Epstein did in fact use dirt on his kingmaker companions to try and extort them. Contrary to Gates’s flimsy assertion that Epstein was simply valuable in the world of charity, it seems that Epstein really did use the sexual immorality of the global elite for personal gain.
The minutiae of the extortion is even weirder than the fact that the saga existed at all. According to the report, Epstein was introduced to Antonova in 2013 by Gates’s scientific adviser, Boris Nikolic, at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse. Although Epstein didn’t invest in Antonova’s online business to teach bridge players, Epstein did pay for Antonova’s software programming education.
“In 2017, Epstein contacted Gates about the Russian bridge player, years after the relationship had ended, according to people familiar with the matter,” the report said. “He sent an email to Gates asking to be reimbursed for the costs of Antonova’s coding school, the people said. The sum was immaterial for the two men and the tone of the message was that Epstein knew about the affair and could expose it, the people said. The spokeswoman for Gates said he didn’t make a payment. ‘Mr. Gates had no financial dealings with Epstein,’ she said.”
Gates may be the first person to confirm that Epstein blackmailed him over past sexual impropriety, but he’s likely not the last. Just how many global elites were secretly extorted by this convicted rapist remains to be seen.
