Jeffrey Epstein allegedly threatened Bill Gates over reported affair with Russian card player: report
Jeffrey Epstein allegedly tried to leverage knowledge of an affair between Bill Gates and a Russian bridge player in an email, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Jeffrey Epstein allegedly threatened Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates with details on the tech billionaire's alleged affair with a Russian bridge player, the Wall Street Journal reported.
"Mr. Gates met with Epstein solely for philanthropic purposes," a spokeswoman for Gates told WSJ. "Having failed repeatedly to draw Mr. Gates beyond these matters, Epstein tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship to threaten Mr. Gates."
Gates met Russian bridge player Mila Antonova in 2010, when she was in her 20s and Gates in his mid-50s, at a bridge tournament where the two played against each other, according to the Journal.
