In a private 2013 draft email that Jeffrey Epstein wrote to himself—now exposed in the massive 2026 Justice Department release of over 3 million pages—Epstein bitterly accused Bill Gates of begging him for antibiotics to secretly treat an STI he allegedly caught from “sex with Russian girls,” then slip the medication to his wife Melinda without her ever knowing.
The lurid, unsent messages detail Epstein’s rage after Gates reportedly cut ties, claiming the Microsoft co-founder had demanded help covering up “your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis,” while also facilitating extramarital encounters with married women.
Gates has vehemently denied it all as “absolutely absurd and completely false,” insisting he only attended dinners with Epstein and regrets every moment. Melinda, speaking publicly for the first time since the dump, called the revelations painful echoes of her marriage’s darkest days.
Yet the explosive allegations keep fueling demands for answers from one of the world’s most powerful philanthropists.
In a private 2013 draft email that Jeffrey Epstein wrote to himself—now exposed in the massive January 2026 Justice Department release of over 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents—the disgraced financier bitterly accused Bill Gates of begging him for antibiotics to secretly treat a sexually transmitted infection (STI) he allegedly contracted from “sex with Russian girls,” then slip the medication to his wife Melinda without her knowledge.
The lurid, unsent messages, dated July 18, 2013, detail Epstein’s rage after Gates reportedly cut ties following a fallout. In one vitriolic draft addressed “dear Bill,” Epstein claimed he had facilitated “illicit trysts” for Gates with married women and procured drugs “in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls.” He further alleged Gates tearfully implored him to delete incriminating emails referencing “your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis.” Another draft, styled as a resignation letter from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, complained of Epstein’s role in sourcing medicine for Gates amid these alleged encounters.
These explosive claims emerged amid a broader context: Epstein appeared to be drafting notes in frustration over a mediated dispute involving Gates’ adviser Boris Nikolic, who felt caught between Gates’ marital issues and professional fallout. The emails were sent to Epstein’s own account ([email protected]), raising questions about whether they were ever transmitted or intended as leverage. No independent evidence corroborates the allegations, and sources emphasize they reflect Epstein’s perspective as a “proven, disgruntled liar” seeking to defame or entrap Gates after their relationship soured.
Bill Gates has vehemently denied the accusations as “absolutely absurd and completely false.” In interviews, including one with Australian network 9News, he called the claims fabricated, expressed deep regret for ever associating with Epstein—describing meetings as a “serious error in judgment” and “foolish”—and stressed he had no involvement in Epstein’s illegal activities. A spokesperson reiterated that the documents merely highlight Epstein’s bitterness over losing Gates’ connection, not any truth to the lurid details.
Melinda French Gates, speaking publicly for the first time since the dump in an NPR “Wild Card” podcast interview, described the revelations as dredging up “unbelievable sadness” and “painful times in my marriage.” She expressed relief at being “away from all the muck” post-2021 divorce but insisted that Gates and others named in the files must answer remaining questions themselves. “They need to answer to those things, not me,” she said, highlighting the enduring emotional toll on victims and families.
The allegations continue to fuel intense scrutiny of Gates, one of the world’s most influential philanthropists through the Gates Foundation. Critics point to his documented meetings with Epstein between 2011 and 2014—years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction—as evidence of poor judgment, even as Gates maintains they centered on philanthropy discussions that went nowhere. No criminal charges have arisen from these claims, but the episode underscores Epstein’s lingering shadow over elite networks, amplifying calls for transparency and accountability from powerful figures once linked to him.
