Bill Gates issues FURIOUS response to Epstein files claim he slept with Russian 'girls' and caught STD... and suggests late pedophile was desperate to be his friend
'The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.'

excerpt.
To add insult to the injury you them implore me to please delete the mails regarding your std, your request that I provide you with antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda and the description of your penis
You also made it clear to me that I am not to refer to REDACTED as that is another topic that must remain between the two of us.
In return for all of these requests, which I would have done without a second thought, I am not to attend meetings with Melinda. I should continue to provide you the same level of service and dedication you are ready to discard me and our friendship.

(2,063 posts)Don't believe this accusation whatsoever. There is no way Gates, if he truly contracted and STD, is going to blab that to Epstein and ask Epstein for antibiotics. Someone with Gate's $$$ can easily get antibiotics from a doctor, protected by HIPAA, and far more discreet. I call BS.

(10,198 posts)There was reporting of Gates having an affair with a Russian woman (Mila Antonova) decades younger than him, Melinda couldn't stand Epstein and says the association between he and her husband led to their divorce, etc.

(2,063 posts)There is simply no way Bill Gates is going to ask Epstein for antibiotics to "secretly" give to his wife. It's also ludicrous to believe that Gates is going to share with Epstein if he suspected Melinda had an STD. The story is beyond ridiculous.
Sure, Bill Gates is going to say: "Pssst...hey Epstein...I think I might have given Melinda "the clap", got any antibiotics I can slip her in secret?"

(10,198 posts)And if Epstein were going to plant a lie about Gates to make him look bad, years before the two actually went their separate ways, you think claiming he got an STD from a Russian he was sleeping with is what he'd go with?

(2,063 posts)What Epstein would do or not do is not exactly a flex. "Epstein may rape girls and traffic them to other men, but do you really think he'd send an email to himself about Bill Gates asking him for antibiotics to give to his wife in secret? That's beyond the pale!"
Once again, there is a HUGE difference between someone having an affair (who knows if Gates did or not), versus Gates running to someone like Epstein and asking for antibiotics to be given "in secret".
It is beyond ludicrous.

(4,100 posts)why would gates need an antibiotic from epstein?
maybe they catch the" black clap" from the little traffic girls and only Epstein had the cure?

(1,887 posts)but ignoring all that, I would be inclined to believe the whole thing is made up simply because of the baloney about going to Epstein for antibiotics. You really want me to believe a billionaire would catch an STD from a hooker, then call Epstein, like someone with Gates' resources couldn't get antibiotics.

(23,976 posts)In a rare statement that clearly conveys the depths of his anger over the latest Epstein files release, a spokesperson for the Microsoft billionaire told the Daily Mail: 'These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false.
'The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.'
