In a new report from the Wall Street Journal, notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein attempted to blackmail Bill Gates with a threat to expose an affair Gates allegedly had in 2010 with a 20-year-old Russian bridge player, Mila Antonova. Epstein asked Gates to participate in a multibillion-dollar charitable fund in 2017 and leveraged his knowledge of Gates’ alleged affair to secure a donation. Epstein met Antonova through Boris Nikolic, an advisor to Gates, in 2013 when she was trying to raise money for an online bridge venture. While Epstein did not fund the project, he did pay for her to attend coding school. The threat was presented indirectly from Epstein asking Gates to reimburse him for Antonova’s coding school. Gates was married to now-ex-wife Melinda Gates at the time of the alleged affair.
