Bill Gates is opening up about the time he spent with Jeffrey Epstein, calling their conversations together “a huge mistake”
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, published on Jan. 24, the former Microsoft CEO, 69, spoke about the meetings he had with the late convicted sex offender.
“In retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him. And he, sort of, got time with various people by spending time with other people,” he told WSJ. “So yes, I think I was quite stupid. I thought it would help me with global health philanthropy. In fact, it failed to do that it was just a huge mistake.”
Gates added that the controversies that stemmed from meeting with the disgraced financier — who died by suicide at age 66 in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal conspiracy and sex trafficking charges — made him more weary of building connections.
“Definitely,” he said with a laugh. “I mean, are you kidding?”
