Bill Gates Reflects on Friendship with Jeffrey Epstein: "A Huge Mistake"

[Social Media]

 

Bill Gates has spoken candidly about his past association with Jeffrey Epstein, describing it as a significant lapse in judgment. Reflecting on the relationship, Gates told *The Wall Street Journal* that he deeply regrets the time he spent with the late financier, who was a convicted child sex offender.  

 

"In retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him," the 69-year-old Microsoft co-founder admitted in the interview. "I think I was quite stupid. I thought it would help me with global health philanthropy. In fact, it failed to do that. It was just a huge mistake."  

 

Gates further explained that after Epstein’s criminal behavior came to light, he became much more cautious about the people he allows into his inner circle. Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, had reportedly sought to leverage his connections to Gates in various ways.  

 

According to reports, Epstein attempted to pressure Gates into joining his multibillion-dollar charitable fund with JPMorgan Chase in 2017. The financier allegedly threatened to reveal an extramarital affair Gates had with Russian bridge player Mila Antonova if the billionaire refused to participate. Epstein had known Antonova since 2013 and had even financed her enrollment in a software coding school.  

 

During this period, Gates was reportedly involved in a years-long affair with Antonova, which overlapped with his marriage to Melinda Gates. The Gateses were married from 1994 until their divorce in 2021, and Melinda has since suggested that her ex-husband’s ties to Epstein contributed to the breakdown of their 27-year marriage.  

 

In a March 2022 interview on *CBS Mornings*, Melinda described her discomfort with Gates’s meetings with Epstein. "I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no. I made that clear to him," she said, explaining that she had met Epstein once to understand who he was.  

"I regretted it the second I walked in the door," she revealed. "He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. My heart breaks for these women."  

 

Despite their divorce, Gates has openly expressed his regrets about the dissolution of his marriage. In a recent interview with *The Times of London*, he acknowledged that the end of his marriage is the mistake he regrets most deeply.  

 

"There were lots of others in that situation, but I made a mistake," he said, referring to his association with Epstein. "I had several dinners with him hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy for global health through contacts that he had might emerge. When it looked like that wasn’t a real thing, that relationship ended."  

 

Since their split, both Bill and Melinda have moved on in their personal lives. Melinda has been linked to entrepreneur Philip Vaughn, while Gates is currently dating Paula Hurd. However, the shadow of Epstein and the mistakes tied to that relationship remain a lasting source of regret for Gates.

Bet he enjoyed it at the time though .

Bridge player ... 

 

Only thing he regrets is getting caught cheating on his wife, as do all Aholes once outed.  Should of divorced her 20 years earlier, as it would have been cheaper, and he'd still be respected.

 

Now he's remembered as just another rich perv, not that there's anything wrong with that, as she might have been an adult at the time.

Can you provide the evidence he is such an evil man, or is it just an outcry because of lack of success in your own life?

Enough stupid allegations against one person or groups, it finely becomes a truth.

If only Trump were man enough to admit this, about his very close 10 year friendship with Epstein. If we only knew what went on and how many young girls he supplied the crime lord with.

Seems like an common answer these days, same as Gottfried used when cornered and could not provide source.

 

As said, if the same allegations is said many enough times, you start to believe even without proves to back up your statements.

Maybe look up what he did to countless children in India and Africa.   He used these kids as guinea pigs with many kids dying, getting maimed, or ending up sterile.  Feel free to look that up.  A great place to start is " The Real Anthony Fauci" which brings the receipts.

 

Here's a starter kit to get you going.

I see and hear what Trump says and do, and also what he do not say or do. 

 

Up to you who you want to believe or not.

 

The crazy about it, you guys will take down something that have worked for more than 80 years, and you do not understand the consequences doing so. 

 

By praising Putin and Trump at the same time, and you do not see the idiocracy behind it, or do you?

You indeed trust your sources when it comes to political dirt bombs, don't you.

 

You see and believe what you want. 

[bendejo]

Strictly my own suspicion, and I never read anything anywhere to suggest this, I didn't buy the divorce story.  They are worth a ridiculously large amount of money, and there has to be an awareness of how their fortune will be passed on.  My guess is there will be millions salvaged because of this divorce.

Bet he didnt think it was a mistake when he was balls deep in a teenie.

Not interested, I checked what he said in full context, and if you have a twisted mind, you can if you want, make exactly what you want it to be.

What reality do you live in my god. I need to remind myself you're one of the last hold outs. It makes sense when you remember the context which you should be taken.

 

You are wrong on this one but hey spin it how you want.

How many times on here have MSM articles been proved false or totally out of context? Despite the D.D.S crew feverishly repeating them as fact.

Haven't read a MSM article for years, so I do not know what you talking about.

 

I read a wide panel of news sources, and understand what targeting dirt bombs is, and do not for one second excuse one or the other part for their dirty games, but It doesn't free Trump for his dirty business deals, or dirty game even both parts play the same game, but very clear different tools, methods and rhetoric which attracts different groups.

Ah I see, both play the same game.... but but but Trumps worse!

I'd say democtrats and 90% of media daily labelling him as the next Hitler, a threat to the world and everyone in it and the end of democracy, leading to 2 assassination attepmts is worse rhetoric than that of Trump...
