The latest release of the Epstein files has revealed a draft email from the serial child-rapist to software billionaire Bill Gates.

Epstein and Gates: more evidence

In the email, Epstein responds to an alleged attempt by Gates to sever their relationship, which he says will damage his public reputation. Epstein then ‘shakes down’ Gates for $30m to stay quiet about a sexually transmitted disease Gates had allegedly contracted and passed to his wife:

Dear Bill, ​

I cannot believe that you have chosen to both disregard and discard our friendship developed over the last 6 years. ​ I am aware that accidents happen; it is how each of us has chosen to deal with this unfortunate event that has me dismayed beyond comprehension. ​ You have decided to discharge me from my job, had Larry, your PR person, tell me that I engaged in morally inappropriate behavior, and then asked me to be the major actor in a cover-up so that you can maintain the reputation that you have worked so hard to achieve. ​

Shortly after my critical eye operation, I spent my day having your emails read to me so as not to miss a beat. ​ When I could see out of one eye, my first task was to correct my vision in that one eye so that I could read them myself. ​ I assumed the dedication to our relationship ran both ways. ​ Larry has now asked me to recommit to a confidentiality agreement and has categorically told me that you were of the firm mind that we should no longer have any direct ongoing business relationship. ​ With a total disregard for its impact on the public perception of MY reputation, you have requested that I diligently avoid the truth, tell people that Bill will not invest with me, and craft answers that suit yours and Melinda’s needs. ​

In fairness, you did agree to send me a letter of recommendation should a future employer ask for one. ​ You have told me that Melinda insists on me ignoring our friendship, not even communicating with you unless Larry is copied or present. ​ Though you have consistently maintained that I could not have done a better job and that I was underpaid compared to my contribution, you then, beyond all sense of fairness and, frankly, decency, said that as “generous” compensation for keeping the Gates reputation intact, you would let me keep what we agreed I had already owned (the investment participations) and give me a total of 2 years severance, similar to that of Christine Turner, a casualty of a former accident. ​

I can assure you that if the shoe was on the other foot, I would have said, “Boris, this is not your fault. I confessed to Melinda; you didn’t. ​ It was in a moment of weakness, and I promise that I will do anything within my power to make it right for you. ​ I have more money than anyone needs, and I do my utmost to structure something so that you will not be penalized for my error. ​ Lucky for me, I have enough money to mediate a horrible situation. ​Though it will not heal the injury, it will make you secure in your future. ​ In addition, I will bend over backwards to make sure your next career is rewarding and on an upswing. ​ I appreciate the fact that this event drastically alters your plans and am very aware of the career path you gave up to join the Foundation. ​ I am very sorry, but as I believe time heals all wounds, the terrible pain felt currently will eventually pass.

In that regard, I suggest I buy you the house that you so had your heart set on, and in addition to five years of severance, will buy you out of the investment contract we had agreed—30-40 percent of a hundred million dollar partnership—for 30 million dollars in today’s dollars, terms and conditions to be agreed. ​ That’s what I would have done had I been in your shoes.

What I did receive, however, was an unfriendly, strongly worded email telling me how employable I am and that I should not look to you for any significant financial help in the future. ​ To add insult to the injury, you then subsequently, with tears in your eyes, implore me to please delete the emails regarding your STD, your request that I provide you 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]. ​ 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. ​

In a separate email, Epstein told Peter Mandelson, another close friend, that he had “monstrous fun” with the Microsoft founder in Seattle.

Gates has not yet commented on the allegations.

Blackmail

As one commenter put it:

That’s blackmail. He’s shaking Gates down for $30 million to stay quiet about an STD Gates presumably had – and passed to his wife. It looks like Epstein was on Gates’ payroll. There was a similar email to Prince Andrew about a “salary” that wasn’t being paid.

It seems Epstein sold himself as a “fixer” for the rich and powerful, like Roy Cohn without the law degree – but underneath it all, like Cohn, he was actually a blackmailer and extortionist.

These people went to Epstein to “fix” their problems (quiet antibiotics for an STD, no paper trail) or to get what they wanted (young women). Then he turned that info into leverage and used it to squeeze them.

The big question: was Epstein working alone, or was he a foreign state asset? Was he working for Mossad? There’s some circumstantial smoke there – family links through his father‑in‑law, fake passports, unexplained wealth and more.

The final question is not really a question. Epstein has long been exposed as an Israeli intelligence asset whose ‘kompromat’ is said to have compromised US president Donald Trump, Epstein’s “closest friend” and no doubt hundreds of others.
