re: Bill Gates had affair with Russian Bridge player in 2010. Jeff Epstein blackmailed him.

This is nothing but my opinion after reading but- her version of events, to the extent they involved her, sounds very believable. Not that I think anyone's called her a liar.

And note too, she declines to comment at all about Gates.

Basically, young girl has brief relationship with rich older dude, Epstein sends the girl to coding school when she wants to learn so she can work in the computer industry, and years later Epstein blackmails Gates about the relationship:

In 2017, Epstein contacted Gates about the Russian bridge player, years after the relationship had ended, according to people familiar with the matter. He sent an email to Gates asking to be reimbursed for the costs of Antonova’s coding school, the people said.

The sum was immaterial for the two men and the tone of the message was that Epstein knew about the affair and could expose it, the people said.

The spokeswoman for Gates said he didn’t make a payment. “Mr. Gates had no financial dealings with Epstein,” she said.

Now, "Gates didn't make a payment" to Epstein could be literally true and still not mean that Epstein didn't get something out of this blackmail. Such as, giving him something other than cash, like stock. Or, Epstein got paid, just not directly and personally by Gates.
