Bill Gates, chair of the Gates Foundation, speaks at the Bloomberg Philanthropies 2025 Global Business Forum in New York on Sept. 24, 2025. Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images Bill Gates spoke about his association with Jeffrey Epstein in a town hall meeting with employees of the Gates Foundation , a spokesperson for the nonprofit said Wednesday, after recently released emails elaborated on the Microsoft co-founder's relationship with the sex offender. Gates said in a recording of the meeting that he "did nothing illicit" during his interactions with Epstein and did not stay overnight, although they met in several countries, The Wall Street Journal reported. Gates also told staff members at the Tuesday meeting that he had an affair with a Russian bridge player and a Russian nuclear physicist and that associate Boris Nikolic had discussed those relationships with Epstein, according to the Journal. He and Melinda French, who once were co-chairs of the foundation, divorced in 2021 . "In the conversation, Bill answered questions submitted by foundation staff on a range of issues, including the release of the Epstein files, the foundation's work in AI, and the future of global health," a Gates Foundation representative told CNBC in an email. "In the townhall, Bill spoke candidly, addressing several questions in detail, and took responsibility for his actions."

Ivan_Sabo/iStock via Getty Images From 2009 to 2022, alternative and private lenders multiplied as traditional banks tightened underwriting standards and yield-starved investors looked beyond conventional options. As usual, ‘easy money’ led to overconfident, under-analyzed allocation decisions across many asset classes at once. Real estate busts tend to be slow-moving, and then suddenly, all at once. Eight years after the US commercial market peak, the price discovery in current sales is wiping out years of prior price appreciation. The 90% price cut to a landmark Chicago building highlighted below gives a sense of the magnitude of write-downs unfolding. Residential markets have largely frozen on the still-massive overshoot between current asking prices and the level buyers are willing and able to pay. With sales volumes at 45-year lows in 2026, price discovery remains far below what most can presently fathom. New home sales are approaching an all-time low in Toronto. Janice Golding has more on the struggle to sell recently built housing. If the Canadian average national home sale price were to return to even 2018 levels, it would require a further drop of 25% from 670K today to about $500k (and a drop of about 40% from the February 2022 peak of $827k). If you think that can’t happen, you are not well-studied in the aftermath of real estate bubbles. Broad price discovery is yet to occur in equity, credit and ‘alternative asset’ markets. There will come a day, there too, when people will look at their purchase prices and account statements from the glory days of the bubble and say, “What were we thinking?” Disclosure: No positions Original Post Editor's Note: The summary bullets for this article were chosen by Seeking Alpha editors.
