(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Pedophile ring operator Jeffrey Epstein reportedly threatened tech billionaire Bill Gates to expose his extramarital affair with a Russian bridge player.
Following a bombshell Wall Street Journal report on the alleged affair, The Blaze noted that Gates met bridge player Mila Antonova in 2010, during the time he was married to his now ex-wife Melinda Gates.
Epstein paid for Antanova to attend a coding class in 2013, later asking for Gates to reimburse him.
In a 2017 email, Epstein asked Gates for his money back after Gates refused to participate in a big-money charitable fund that Epstein was trying to manage with the aid of the bank JPMorgan Chase.
When asked about the situation, Antaonva denied any knowledge of Epstein or his pedophile ring business.
“I had no idea that he was a criminal or had any ulterior motive,” she said of Epstein. “I just thought he was a successful businessman and wanted to help. I am disgusted with Epstein and what he did.”
She also admitted that he paid for her schooling, and that she met with him at his home in 2013 to pitch a venture to him.
“Epstein agreed to pay and he paid directly to the school,” she said, emphasizing that “nothing was exchanged.”
She also claimed that she had no knowledge of Epstein’s motives.
“I don’t know why he did that,” Antonova said. “When I asked, he said something like, he was wealthy and wanted to help people when he could.”
Gates had a long-running relationship with Epstein, stretching over the course of decades. Melinda Gates allegedly had serious doubts about her husband’s friend the entire time.
“I did not like that [Bill] had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein,” Melinda said in an interview last year.
“I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffrey Epstein exactly one time. I wanted to see who this man was, and I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door.”
She later called him “evil personified.”
The corn-loving billionaire allegedly hooked up with Antonova routinely for quite some time, including on lavish trips to France, and possibly meet-ups at Epstein’s island.
