Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates told a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday that Jeffrey Epstein used Gates’ marital infidelities as “leverage” to keep the billionaire in Epstein’s circle.

In a prepared opening statement, Gates told committee members that he “never witnessed nor had any indication that Epstein was engaged in ongoing criminal conduct.”

“I never went to his island, his ranch, or his Florida home. I have never victimized anyone. While he may have sought to foster a personal relationship, I was never interested in that and never reciprocated,” he went on.

But the philanthropist also disclosed that the late pedophile learned of Gates having “been unfaithful in my marriage” and sought “to use information about my infidelities — in addition to many lies that he layered on top — to pressure me to re-engage with him.”

“He was unsuccessful in this effort, but it shows some of the ways he tried to leverage his interactions with me to further his agenda,” Gates added.

He most certainly went to the island many times. I remember that quite clearly.

Sorry, even though I understand that Wexner was supposedly Epstein’s only client after he left Bear Sterns I do not believe he would transfer a house to him worth $65 Million.

Epstein was not that great of a trader at Bear Sterns.
He was not a financial genius.

Bret Weinstein said on the JRE that Epstein did not know what he was talking about when it came to financial, economic analysis. However, he ACTED like he knew what he was talking about.

Epstein made his money extorting men who liked to have sex with under age girls. He worked for the CIA. That is why the Bush administration made sure he was given a slap on the wrist when he was arrested the first time for rape in Florida. The US Attorney was old by “someone above his pay grade” to go easy on his sentencing for statutory rape of a fourteen year old girl. Epstein was US intelligence.
