Jeffrey Epstein And The Alleged Plot To Blackmail Bill Gates (Part 2) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: In this episode, we're going to pick up where we
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: left off in the Wall Street Journal article talking about
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates and how Jeffrey Epstein was allegedly blackmailing him.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: This article was published by the Wall Street Journal and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the author of this article is Khadija Saftar and Emily Glazer.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates, who has a net worth and excess of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars, one of the world's biggest philanthropists,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: was among the most well known names in Epstein's calendar.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And the calendar was a who's whose list of people
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: in the tech sector, people in entertainment, people from politics,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you name it, every walk of life, wherever power could
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: be found, That's where you can find the tentacle of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. The man infiltrated every single walk of life,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: pretty much from the financial sector all the way way
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: down to modeling. Starting in twenty eleven, Gates had more
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: than half a dozen meetings scheduled with Epstein, including dinners
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: at Epstein's New York townhouse. Document show Gates flew on
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Epstein's private plane from New Jersey to Florida, in March
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, according to flight records, long after Jeffrey Epstein
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: was already a sex offender. And what are you doing
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: flying from Titoborough down to Florida? Did you guys go
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to the mansion? Where'd you guys go? What'd you do?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And who did you too? Degenerates do it with? That
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: same month, the two men then met in France with
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: an official on the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. They spent
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: much of the day together in New York in September
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, meeting other billionaires, The Journal reported. Gates has
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: said he learned to play bridge from his parents, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the card game became one of his favorite hobbies. Gates
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: played with Atatanova, another devotee of the game. She attended
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: university in Russia between two thousand and two thousand and five.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: According to her LinkedIn profile. She later founded a bridge
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: club in the US before taking on several roles as
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a software engineer in the Bay Area. Her LinkedIn profile shows,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: must be nice to have all kinds of hookups, must
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: be nice to be the ex paramore of Bill Gates.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I would guess that you'd get some opportunities that other
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: people might not get. In a video posted online in
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: twenty ten, Antonova talked about meeting Gates at a bridge
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: tournament and playing against the Microsoft co founder. I didn't
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: beat him, but I tried to kick him with my leg,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: she said in the video. You got Bill Gates over
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: here playing bridge, and as much as we all hate Zuckerberg,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: at least the dudes out there doing some jiu jitsu
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and doing some kind of you know, physical activity. Meanwhile,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: goofy ass, Bill Gates is hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and playing bridge. Antonova had an idea to start an
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: online business to teach people how to play bridge, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: she sought funds for it. According to documents viewed by
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal, Boris Nikolich, Agates confidant and top
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: science advisor at the time, who also knew Epstein, introduced
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Anatanova to Epstein to help raise the funds. The document
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: show Nikolich said when he first met Epstein, it was
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: in his capacity as Gates scientific advisor, and they discussed
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: philanthropic proposals. I deeply regret that I ever met Epstein.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Nikolitch said his crimes were despicable. I never saw anything
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: like his illegal behavior. My heart goes out to the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: victims and their families. And the relationship between Boris Nikolitch
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and Jeffrey Epstein still hasn't been vetted correctly. Why would
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein name this dude as one of the executors
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of his estate if they don't even really know each other,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: especially considering the other two executors of the estate are
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: longtime confidants and trusted associate of Jeffrey Epstein. So why
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: would Boris Nikolitch be added to that group? That's a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: question to ponder, huh. Antonova and Nikolch met at Epstein's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: townhouse in November twenty thirteen, where she presented her proposal
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to Epstein, who provided feedback. Document show she was looking
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to raise five hundred thousand dollars for the venture, which
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: she called Bridge Planet. Its mission was to promote bridge
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: by creating quality tutorials for beginners and advanced players. So
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: how would that project make money on advertisements or selling
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the tutorials? Because five hundred thousand dollars as startup money,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you would think you'd want to see a return on
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that investment. Right On November ninth, Antonova wrote an email
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to thank Epstein for the meeting and reviewing the proposal.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Epstein ultimately didn't invest in the project, according to Antonova.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: The next year, in November twenty fourteen, Antonova stayed briefly
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at an apartment in New York City provided by Epstein.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't interact with him or with anyone else while there.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: She said that apartment wouldn't be located on sixty sixth Street,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: would it. After she felt a secure funding for Bridge Planet,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Antonova said she decided to become a software programmer and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: asked several people to lend her money for a programming
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: boot cap. Epstein agreed to pay, and he paid directly
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to the school. Nothing was exchanged. I don't know why
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he did that, she said. When I asked, he said
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: something like he was wealthy and wanted to help people
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: when he could. Oh yeah, Jeffrey Epstein, mister helpful, Mister
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: helpful himself. Jeffrey Epstein never did anything unless he was
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: getting something on the back end. The question is here,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: what was he getting from Antonova While he was meeting
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: with Gates. Epstein also had multiple meetings scheduled with other
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: people close to Gates, including Nikolch, former Microsoft executive Nathan Mirvold,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and Gates Foundation staffer Melanie Walker the document show. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: remember Melanie Walker was the neurosurgeon that was palin around
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: with Prince Andrew down at Zoro Ranch. Remember she came
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and asked the staff about a special tea that she
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: could possibly make to get Prince Andrew a bit worked
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: up if you will. Oh yeah, we covered that as well.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So all of these people are connected. This nexus runs deep,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and all of these webs are interconnected. At the time,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Epstein was trying to set up a multi billion dollar
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: charitable fund with JP Morgan that would potentially pull money
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: from some of the world's wealthiest people. Epstein proposed that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: JP Morgan set up the fund with a minimum of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars contribution per individual and pay him
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars in fees, the document show. In addition
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to the fees, the disgraced financier Pedophile saw the fund
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: as a way to rehabilitate his reputation. According to people
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: he told of his thinking, it hinged on securing support
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: from Gates the document show. So basically what they're hinting
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: at here is that Bill Gates is not culpable for
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: his time with Epstein because you know, he just got
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: caught up. And Bill Gates is so stupid that he
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: got dog walked by dumbass Jeffrey Epstein who never even
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: graduated from college. That's what you want us to believe. Well,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't believe that Bill Gates knew exactly
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: who Epstein was, knew exactly what Epstein was up to,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and he was still hanging out with him anyway. Now,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you Bill Gates
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: was abusing girls with Jeffrey Epstein, but what I will
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: say is this, he certainly enabled Jeffrey Epstein and helped
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein refurbish his reputation. So to act like Billy
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: boy Gates is some kind of victim is straight up
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a joke. There's zero chance that I'd ever fall for
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that narrative, and I highly doubt any of you out
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: there will either. This guy knew exactly what he was doing.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: All of them did. I'm so tired of that excuse.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: That's even the excuse we got from the CIA director
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: who was paling around with Epstein as well. Oh, I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: had no idea who he was, bro, you're in charge
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of the CIA. You mean to tell me you had
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: no idea you were having meetings with one of the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: most prolific molesters we've ever seen. Is that what the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: head of the CIA really wants us to believe, because
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: if so, it's not a good look. There's no way
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you can frame mister Burns hanging out with Epstein in
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a good manner. It's all a bad look and it
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: should be called out a whole lot more. But of course,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: remember they have to make sure that they protect their faves.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Epstein's messages, which were peppered with typos and spelling errors,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: tried to give the impression that he was a close
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Gates advisor. Gates wasn't included on emails reviewed by the Journal.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: The Gates spokeswoman said Epstein never worked for Gates and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: misrepresented their ties in communications with JP Morgan and others. Yo,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the whitewash is happening full effect right here. Don't be
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: mad at Bill Gates, folks. He had no idea what
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: was happening. He had no idea who Jeffrey Epstein was.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Just look at his emails. It's obvious that Bill Gates
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: had no clue, give me a break. Already, Bill Gates
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: knew exactly what was going on, just like every other
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: scumbag that rolled through those doors. And anybody who gives
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: us that excuse is somebody that needs further examination at
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: this point. I mean, imagine being caught up in something
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: like this and not getting ahead of it and talking
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to the media, talking to the FBI whoever wanted to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: talk to you, especially if you did nothing wrong. I'd
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: be the first one standing up saying, Hey, what's up,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: let's talk. Where's the FBI at Can we have a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: conversation please? I didn't do shit. I have no idea
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: what this guy was up to. But we never hear that, Dewey,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it's always ooh. I had no idea who Jeffrey Epstein was.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I had no idea what he was up to. But
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the fact is you did. And not only were people
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: like Bill Gates aware of what Jeffrey Epstein was, they
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: went into these business relationships not caring about what he
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: had done in the past. And again, like usual, it's
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: profits over people. In essence, this fund will allow Bill
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to have access to higher quality people investment allocation governance
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: without upsetting either his marriage or the sensitivities of the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: current foundation employees, Epstein wrote on August sixteenth, twenty eleven,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to two top JP Morgan executives, Jess Staley and Mary Erdos,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: his two BFFs over at JP Morgan, and not enough
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: conversation is centered around Mary Erdos either. How many times
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: is she going to be mentioned in these emails as
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: somebody facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's financial malfeasance. I mean, every time
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you turn around, Mary Erdos is named in one of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: these emails. The next day, Epstein wrote, Bill is terribly frustrated.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: He would like to boost some of the things that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: we are working on without taking away from those that
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: are not. On October tewod he sent another email to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: stalian Erdose criticizing a presentation that JP Morgan had prepared
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: on the project. The presentation is not tailored to Bill.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: He is the only person, the only one that counts.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And there's one certainty about Jeffrey Epstein, and that was
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: he liked to go big game hunting and get people
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: like Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew people like that
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: under his thumb. And once he had them under his thumb,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: he was able to use that relationship to help refurbish
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: his own reputation after he was arrested for molesting a child.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: The charitable fund never got off the ground. The firm
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: didn't need him as a client. A JP Morgan spokesman
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: set of Epstein, the firm didn't need him for introductions.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Knowing what we know today, we wish we had never
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: done business with him. A spokesman for the bank set
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Airdose to client to comment. A lawyer for Staley didn't
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: respond to a request for comment. Staley has previously said
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: he regrets his friendship with Epstein. Oh, I'm sure he does.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And once again, he doesn't regret the friendship. He regrets
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that you know about it. That's all he really regrets
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: is that we know about that friendship, not that he
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: actually was paling around with egg Dick. It's the fact
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that you and I know about it, and it's making
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: his life miserable. The poor guy. Oh, I can't roll
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: around in my money like Scrooge McDuck anymore. Wow. I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: can't even explain to you how much can tempt I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: harbor for people like this. While he was working on
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the charitable fund, Epstein met in twenty thirteen with Gates
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and Norwegian officials who were visitors to Epstein's townhouse. Epstein
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: told one former Gates Foundation employee that he knew the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Norwegians and could help Gates win a Nobel Peace Prize
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: for his efforts to eradicate polio. Can someone please explain
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to me how Bill Gates became some kind of a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: ficcionado in the world of medicine. Isn't this guy like
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a software developer? All of a sudden, I should be
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: taking medical advice from Bill Gates? Okay? Sure, So what
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: am I gonna do next? Doctor Phil's gonna write code
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna have doctor Phil write me up
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a video game later on. It's also ridiculous breaking news,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates. I don't need you to give me health advice. Okay,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I don't need any advice from anyone who is paling
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: around with Jeffrey Epstein, And I don't care how many
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: zeros you have in your bank account. You're a condemnable,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: disgusting individual, and the fact that you're trying to whitewash
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: your relationship with Epstein is utterly ridiculous. So here's an idea,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Billy Boy Gates, stay in your lane, worry about making
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: sure that my Microsoft Windows platform is in garbage, and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: leave the doctoring to you know, the doctors. Gates and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Epstein met together in March in Strausburg, France, at the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: home of Forburn Jaglind, then chair of the Nobel Peace
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Prize Committee that's Stember. Epstein scheduled a meeting with Gates,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Jaglin and others at his townhouse. The document show, our
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: document show. Mister Gates met with Norwegian officials to discuss
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the security situation in Afghanistan as part of mister Gates'
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: work on polio eradication. What does that even mean? Is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates in Afghanistan refugee camp giving people polio vaccines?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Or is he somebody who's behind the scenes using this
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: charitable organization for whatever the fuck he's using it for.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And again, I hate to be cynical, but when we're
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: talking about these billionaires and all the people that we're
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: paling around with Epstein, I can't help myself. I have
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: such a bad taste in my mouth when it comes
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to all of these people at this point, the whole
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: so called elite class that I look at all of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: them as degenerates. Mister Gates has never been focused on
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: or campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize or any other prize.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Jaglin didn't respond to request for comment. He has previously
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: said the prize wasn't a topic for discussion during the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Strausburg meeting. Several years of discussions with JP Morgan, Gates
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and others failed to yield their front for Epstein or
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: gates commitment to it. In twenty seventeen, Epstein contacted Gates
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: about the Russian bridge player, years after the relationship had ended.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: According to people familiar with the matter, he sent an
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: email to Gates asking to be reimbursed for the costs
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of Anatinova's coding school. The people said the sum was
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: immaterial for the two men, and the tone of the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: message was that Epstein knew about the affair and could
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: expose it, the people said. The spokeswoman for Gates said
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: he didn't make any payment. Mister Gates made no financial
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: dealings with Epstein, she said. Days before he died in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, Epstein changed his will and named Nikolitch as
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a backup executor. Nikolitch said Epstein didn't discuss the ideal
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: with him beforehand, and that he subsequently declined to serve.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: He couldn't have listed Bill because that would have been
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: too obvious, so he chose me. He said, I have
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: come to believe it was likely a retaliatory move against
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates. Oh yeah, of course, that's what this piece
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: reads as a whitewash of Bill Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And I don't buy the explanation that's being given here. Oh,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates was just a shrinking flower and he was
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: being manipulated by me and old Jeffrey Epstein. Give me
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a break. Okay, powerful people like Bill Gates, they're very shrewd,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and they walk into a room and there used to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: being the biggest swing in dick in that room. So
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: if you think he was cowing down to Jeffrey Epstein,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: you would be mistaken, because he was not. Guys that
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: have that kind of dough are in charge of whatever
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the hell they're doing. And if Bill Gates wanted to
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: go down this route and use it as his defense,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: why didn't he come out and say this in the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: very beginning. I was being manipulated, I was being blackmailed.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And that's why I was meeting with Jeffrey Epstein. He
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: never said any of that. All of a sudden, this
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: is the new strategy. All of a sudden, these emails
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: come to the light, they surface, all of a sudden,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And now Bill Gates has an excuse that he can
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: rely upon, or at the very least point to and say, look,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I was being manipulated too. The question is, is anybody
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: buying what are you selling? All right, folks, that's gonna
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: do it for this one. All of the information that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: goes with the episode can be found in the description box.
