    I don't want apologies and resignations. I want investigations and the most serious of consequences if found guilty.

    I can't believe people aren't more upset about this.

      AFAIK he hooked up with some adult Russian escorts. There as also a bridge player and I think she was an adult at the time. People know about the escorts because he asked for help getting STD drugs from Epstein. Had he put it in his wife's food as intended that could get him into serious trouble at the time. Not a lawyer but I think planning to do it but not doing it, the statutes of limitations would kick in but I'm certainly no expert on such things.

      Adultery / extramarital sex is very common these days and I doubt most people would care. Had he put STD drugs in his wife's food might get a different reaction. In my opinion that is nothing compared to some of the things he is accused of doing to many people in Africa but that's a different topic all together and unrelated to Epstein.

        > he asked for help getting STD drugs from Epstein [to commit a felony]

        We're talking about the 2% of information made available, much of which is redacted. The investigations need to include all evidence.

        Technically, this was something Epstein alleged in an email to himself, one that he never sent to Gates, but apparently contemplated sending, after Gates broke off their relationship. It does call into question how many escorts he had affairs with, though. He publicly only acknowledges two, one with a Russian bridge player (who took selfies with Ana Chapman (!)), and another with a Russian nuclear physicist: https://nypost.com/2026/02/25/us-news/inside-bill-gates-sord...

          Thankyou for the correction. I forgot that was a draft from Jefferey.

          • anonnon2 hours ago
            Being a draft, it deprived Gates any opportunity to respond, so it's possible Epstein was playing "4D Chess" and planting defamatory disinfo in anticipation that his emails would be subpoenaed in some civil suit and leaked to the public, but that seems much less likely than Epstein boorishly bringing up an unpleasant episode that in fact did happen to use as emotional leverage over gates. (Epstein was known to be very pushy.)

            It's also crazy to see a man like Bill Gates willingly compromise himself in this manner. Even setting aside the Epstein affiliation, did the Russian spy angle just not occur to him?

        literally no one believes he restrained himself to ‘adult’ women while he was surrounded by predators and victims at pedo island

        the ‘tower of iron will’ defense, lmfao

        his denials are thoroughly transparent lies

          Belief, confession and hard evidence are distinctly different things. AFAIK the emails [released thus far] do not confirm any hanky-panky with under-age people. Have we found any pictures of him fornicating with those under the age of consent? Jeffery had video cameras in every room of every property so if that were a thing I would expect the feds to have it.

    What was it like to be the boyfriend of girls used(*) this way?

    In a town hall on Tuesday, the Microsoft co-founder acknowledged that he had two affairs with Russian women that Epstein later discovered, but that they didn’t involve Epstein’s victims.

    WSJ published one of their names in 2023. (https://www.wsj.com/finance/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates-affai... and https://archive.is/nVJh7)

    Here's a video of her doing some kind of Ted-like talk on bridge.
