Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested for underage sex trafficking and later died in prison, had an array of powerful friends in his rolodex, including former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, as well as the Duke of York Prince Andrew.
Citing people familiar with the incident, the report claims the extortion case centers on an alleged romantic affair between Gates and a bridge player since identified as Mila Antonova.
Antonova reportedly first approached Epstein with a business venture idea in which she wanted to start her own company that would teach people how to play bridge. Boris Nikolic, an adviser to Gates at the time, referred her to Epstein in 2013.
Although the financier turned down his business idea, he agreed to pay for his education. He also provided her with an apartment to stay in while she was in New York in 2014. Antonova said she had no interaction with Epstein or anyone else during her time there.
In 2017, Epstein allegedly emailed Gates asking for reimbursement for Antonova’s education. A Gates spokesperson said he did not pay the money, adding that Gates had “no financial transactions” with the disgraced financier.
Epstein later reportedly threatened to expose the matter the same year after Gates dodged a philanthropic venture Epstein was trying to establish with JPMorgan Chase. Epstein had hoped to use his relationship with Gates to legitimize himself in the eyes of the bank.
“Mr. Gates met Epstein solely for philanthropic purposes. Having repeatedly failed to lure Mr. Gates beyond these issues, Epstein unsuccessfully attempted to leverage a past relationship to threaten Mr. Gates,” a Gates spokesperson told media.
The alleged affair with Antonova is the second Gates has been charged with while in his 27-year marriage, the other being a nearly two-decade-long alleged affair he had with a Microsoft employee.
Gates reportedly met Antonova in 2010 while the two were playing in a bridge tournament together. The two then reportedly shared a short romance while Gates was still married to his wife, philanthropist Melinda French Gates.
Melinda and Gates announced their divorce in May 2021.
As of 2011, Gates had more than six scheduled meetings with Epstein, including dinners at Epstein’s New York townhouse. Gates also flew on Epstein’s private jet from New Jersey to Florida in March 2013. Later that month, the two traveled to France together, before seeing each other again in 2014.
At that time, Epstein had previously been charged with sexually abusing girls as young as 14 in 2006 and pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution.
“I am disgusted with Epstein and what he has done,” Antonova said, while declining to comment on her alleged relationship with Gates. She later added that she was unaware of Epstein’s true identity, including his criminal history, and “just thought he was a successful businessman and wanted to help”.
“I don’t know why he did that,” she said. “When I asked he said something like, he was rich and wanted to help people when he could.”
A bombshell 2018 report from the Miami Herald revealed dozens of other women who were abused by Epstein and led to his 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges. However, he never faced charges after he was found dead in his jail cell on August 10, 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. The death was later ruled a suicide.
