Bill Gates' Friend Warren Buffett Stopped Speaking with Him After Epstein Files: 'I Don't Want ... to Know Things' [View all]

Bill Gates has adamantly denied doing anything "illicit" in connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein

“I haven’t talked to him at all since the whole thing was unveiled,” the 95-year-old billionaire investor told CNBC on Tuesday, March 31, of his current relationship with Gates. “I don’t want to be in a position where I know things. At the moment, I could get called as a witness.”

“I did not ask probing questions,” he continued. “If I thought I had to ask probing questions, I probably wouldn’t have put the money in in the first place.”

Buffett also said that Dr. Boris Nikolic, Gates’ past science adviser, “looked like a terrible guy to employ.” According to Bloomberg, Epstein used his friendship with Nikolic to try to lure Gates to his now-infamous island properties.

Gates has denied having ever gone to one of Epstein’s islands. BioIntel Venture Fund, where Nikolic is listed as a managing member, did not answer when contacted by PEOPLE.

Boris Nikolic

Boris Nikolic is a Croatian-American physician, venture capitalist, and biotechnology investor whose career trajectory — from academic medicine through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to private biotech investment — would be unremarkable as a story of scientific entrepreneurship were it not for a single extraordinary fact: his name appeared in Jeffrey Epstein's will, signed on August 8, 2019 — just two days before Epstein's death in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York — as the successor executor of Epstein's estate. That fact, combined with his deep connections to Bill Gates's scientific philanthropy infrastructure, his positioning at the cutting edge of genomics and synthetic biology investment, and his documented social relationship with Epstein, places Nikolic at one of the most sensitive intersections in the post-Epstein investigation landscape — the junction between Epstein's documented obsession with genetics and reproduction, the Gates Foundation's global health agenda, and the question of what Epstein was attempting to secure or protect in the final days of his life.
