This article examines the involvement of Microsoft founder Bill Gates in the scandal surrounding the publication of the so-called "Epstein Files"—a multimillion-page cache of documents revealing the connections of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein with global elites. Based on analysis of public statements, leaked documents, and reactions from involved parties, the chronology of events is reconstructed: from Gates's introduction to Epstein to the billionaire's forced confessions about personal affairs and attempted blackmail. Particular attention is devoted to the mechanism of using compromising information, the reaction of former wife Melinda French Gates, and the consequences for the reputation of one of the wealthiest individuals on the planet.
