The Department of Just on Friday released over three million documents on disgraced and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including a July 2013 mail alleging Microsoft founder Bill Gates was treating sexually transmitted diseases he contracted from Russian girls, a claim that implied the tech mogul was cheating on his then-wife, Melinda.

Mr Epstein sounded betrayed in the email sent to himself after a botched business deal involving Mr Gates’ and JP Morgan Chase. He wrote the note to bemoan his alleged ill-treatment by Mr Gates, whom he had regarded as his longtime friend.

Mr Epstein said he felt insulted that Mr Bill asked him to delete correspondence regarding the Microsoft founder’s STD and “Your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda and the description of your penis.”

The sex offender, in writing, recalled Mr Bill’s “kind” offer for him to resign his position from BG3 and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with a two-year severance pay.

Still, Mr Epstein said he felt wronged that he was made to participate in activities that were “morally inappropriate” and “ethically unsound” that mostly tilted towards “the illegal” and was now being discarded.

“From helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with the consequences of sex with Russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trysts with married women to  being asked to provide adderall,” Mr Epstein wrote, listing some of the errands he was made to run for the Microsoft founder.

Mr Gates’ team denied the allegations on Friday, saying the emails showed Mr Epstein’s “frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.”

The Gates finalised their divorce in August 2021 after 27 years of marriage with a multibillion-dollar settlement that placed Ms Melinda on the world billionaires’ list. 

Mr Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail on August 10, 2019.
