Bill Gates is hitting back against an upcoming book’s claims that Jeffrey Epstein used him to rehabilitate his image after being jailed for procuring underaged girls in 2008.
Written by New York Times finance editor Anupreeta Das, the unauthorized biography, Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World, alleges that the Epstein and Gates became fast friends when Epstein began to “tunnel his way into Gates’s orbit,” according to the Daily Mail.
While working on a philanthropy project together, Gates is said to have referred to Epstein as his “buddy” and called spending time with him an “adventure.”
