💨 Abstract
Bill Gates has expressed regret for his association with Jeffrey Epstein, stating he regrets "every minute" spent with him. Gates met Epstein in 2011 and had several dinners over three years, but denies visiting Epstein's island or having relations with women. Epstein's documents allege Gates engaged in extramarital affairs and illicit activities, which Gates denies. Melinda French Gates, his ex-wife, finds the revelations painful.
