Gates Divorce Talks Started in 2019 on Epstein Link, WSJ Says

By 

Melinda French Gates began working with divorce lawyers well over a year before her split with Bill Gates was announced last week, partly over concerns about her husband’s dealings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The 56-year-old spoke with attorneys from several firms as early as October 2019, saying the marriage was “irretrievably broken,” the Journal reported Sunday, citing documents and people familiar with the matter. Her unease about her ex-husband’s ties to Epstein dates back to at least 2013, the paper said.

The New York Times reported in October 2019 that the billionaire had met with Epstein several times, and once stayed late at his New York townhouse. A spokeswoman for Microsoft Corp. co-founder said at the time that the meetings had centered on philanthropy. Epstein had died in jail two months prior while awaiting trial on federal charges related to sex trafficking.

The divorce was negotiated during the pandemic, involving legal teams working with a mediator to divide their fortune, which the Bloomberg Billionaires Index pegs at $145 billion.

The couple said that they plan on remaining co-chairs and trustees of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Billionaire Warren Buffett serves as the foundation’s third trustee. All three have vowed to give away the vast majority of their wealth.

In the days after the split was announced, a holding company that Bill Gates created transferred equity stakes in four different companies, worth more than $2 billion in aggregate, to Melinda French Gates, Bloomberg News has reported. The bulk of it is from about 14.1 million shares in Canadian National Railway Co.

Days before he died in a New York jail, Epstein named a little-known biotech venture capitalist named Boris Nikolic as backup executor of his will. Nikolic had worked as a science adviser to Bill Gates and more recently funded more than a dozen firms in gene editing and other health technologies.

In an emailed statement at the time, Nikolic told Bloomberg that Epstein had not consulted him about the will and that he had no intention to fulfill the duties.

That  tainted surname "Nikolic" crops up again, I wonder if he is a relative of the Nikolic brothers in Australia ?

Tiger gets his news out of a garbage can. Pee-ew.


False claim: Bill Gates traveled to Epstein’s island multiple times


To claim, however, that Gates visited Epstein’s island multiple times is baseless. Reuters was unable to find any flight logs corroborating this allegation. It appears Gates flew on an aircraft of Epstein’s once, but this was to Florida. A spokesperson for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation confirmed to Reuters via email that this claim is untrue.

According to Conchita Sarnoff a former investigative journalist and now head of a body that works to protect vulnerable children, and who knew and has been investigating Epstein, the relationship he had with most powerful people was to get finance from them for his so called charitable/research projects. That is why not only Gates but also members of his foundation met with Epstein on multiple occasions in NY.

Where there is smoke there is fire.  Bill Gates was definitely a strange one.  Reminds me of another Bill who was famously painted.in a dress and framed on the walls of the Epstein island mansion.

Poor old shrunky thinks that Bill Gates is a Democrat ... because he is into science and facts and crazy progressive stuff like that.LOL I doubt that squillionaire Bill ever voted Democrat until Pants-On-Fire came along.

Tlaz, you need to stop inventing stuff or spewing things because you want it to be so. You’re like my little cattle dog starting to mimic my kelpies bad habits

Now,as to Gate’s politics I couldn’t careless  but it appears you and your mate are right across it

Condoning his grubby behaviour is a rather sad reflection upon you both

Bill Gates is not standing for public office representing the family values God is on my side Party so I am indifferent about his personal behaviour unless he is breaking the law. Why are you so interested?

Bill Gates accused of a mistress. shock horror, grubby behavior.

You know why it is impossible to take anything you say seriously?

 dead set...the pot calling the kettle 'black'.

 Trump frequented Epstein's pedo island and has had more grubby affairs than either of the other Bills.

Where there’s smoke there fire...... except when it involves Donald Trump. In which case the smoke is just flatulence coming out of the backside of some poor sufferer of TDS. Right Shammy?

Shrunk is like Tex Cobb taking on Larry Holmes. Copped such a pounding that he didnt even realise what was happening. Kudos for staying on his feet though. I wonder what Howard Cosell would say about it? LOL
