The trillions of dollars of funds are invested in the proposed charitable fund. However, this figure is so ridiculous that his visitors have doubts about Epstein’s credibility.

To Florida

According to media reports, Gates and Epstein have been meeting, Arnold is not willing to reveal how many times the two have seen.

In March 2013, according to a flight list, Gates took an Epstein aircraft from Tateboro Airport, New Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida. Arnold said that Gates owns a $40 million jet, so he didn’t realize it was Epstein’s plane.

After six months, Nikolik and Gates attended a conference related to Schrödinger in New York, Schrödinger is a pharmaceutical software company, and Gates has a large investment in this company. Arnold said that during that visit, Epstein and Gates had dinner together to discuss the Gates Foundation and charity.

In October 2014, Gates donated $2 million to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab. University officials said in an internal email that the gift was “instigated” by Epstein. Arnold said: “We have no intention, and there is no clear request for Epstein to control the funds in any way.”

After a while, the relationship between Epstein and Gates seems to have cooled, and the charity fund discussed with the Gates Foundation has never been realized. According to a person familiar with the matter, Epstein complained to an acquaintance at the end of 2014 that Gates had stopped communicating with him.

However, this relationship has not been completely cut off. According to former Foundation employees, at least two senior officials of the Gates Charitable Foundation kept in touch with Epstein until the end of 2017.

Annold said that the Gates Charitable Foundation did not know of any such contact. She said: “Over time, Mr. Gates and his team realized that Epstein’s abilities and ideas were illegal, so all contact with Epstein was interrupted.”

A few days before Epstein died in a prison in Manhattan prison on August 10, he revised his will and appointed Nikorik as a backup executor to prevent one of the two main executives from Execution of the will (Nikolik refused to act as executor in court proceedings).

Nicolik is currently running a venture capital firm, and Gates is one of his investors. He said that the name in Epstein’s widow made him feel “shocked.” In a statement to The Times, he said: “I regret that I have seen Epstein.”
