Photographer: Paul Morigi/Getty Images Tech mogul Bill Gates said he never went to Jeffrey Epstein’s island, where some of the late financier’s sex crimes occurred. But over a four-year span, Epstein made a concerted effort to lure him and members of his family to the Caribbean destination, emails show.The correspondence reflects an enduring friendship between Epstein and Gates’ key science adviser, Boris Nikolic, that extended far beyond business and philanthropy to include the exchange of nude photography, notes on the attractiveness of women and discussion of Gates’ preferences and prospects with them. The emails, part of a trove of Justice Department records released as part of its investigation, suggest Nikolic, who worked at Gates’ venture firm, acted as Gates’ proxy, often coordinating meetups between the Microsoft Corp. co-founder and Epstein, and occasionally discussing Epstein’s potential to connect Gates with companions.
