Epstein’s Leaked Email To Bill Gates: Alleged STD and Secret Antibiotics For Melinda Plot

This is a draft email dated July 18, 2013, saved in Jeffrey Epstein’s email account (sent to himself from jeffreyepsteinjevacation@gmail.com), addressed to “dear Bill” (clearly Bill Gates).

Written in a rambling, typo-heavy style, it expresses deep bitterness over the abrupt end of their six-year friendship and professional ties after an unspecified “unfortunate event” or “accident.”

The writer, Most likely Epstein, accuses Gates of unfairly severing the relationship to protect his reputation, influenced by Melinda Gates and a handler named “Larry” (likely a PR intermediary) who insisted on no direct contact without copying others.

The Epstein email claims a Epstein/Gates’ associate helped “keep the Gates reputation intact” through morally questionable involvement, and demands far more generous severance (e.g., keeping investment stakes, 5 years’ pay, buying a house, or 30-40% of a $100 million partnership buyout), the letter laments the career damage, and offers apologies while pleading for financial help.

The most sensational parts allege Gates had extramarital sex with “Russian girls,” contracted an STD, tearfully begged to delete related emails, requested antibiotics to secretly give to Melinda, and provided a description of his penis—claims framed as separate topics to be avoided in future dealings.

Is this Epstein email real?

Yes, this email text is real and authentic as part of the Jeffrey Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice in late January 2026 (around 3 million pages total). Multiple credible outlets (The New York Times, The Telegraph, BBC, CBS News, etc.) reported on it directly from the released documents.

However, it consists of drafts Epstein sent to himself (not proven to have been sent to Bill Gates.

Bill Gates’ representatives have strongly denied the claims as “absolutely absurd and completely false,” attributing them to Epstein’s frustration over the ended relationship and attempts to defame Gates.
