Newly surfaced material from the latest Epstein Files release is drawing intense scrutiny after an email exchange referenced a disturbing question allegedly posed during a conversation involving disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
A 2011 email written by Hollywood producer Barry Josephson has reignited debate over Epstein’s network of powerful associates.
In the email message, with the subject line “your neice [sic],” Josephson referenced a question Epstein had apparently asked Gates:
“How do we get rid of poor people as a whole?”
Josephson then claimed he had “an answer” before the email thread abruptly shifted to discussion of a 16-year-old described as Epstein’s niece, including details about her age, location in New York, and contact information for her mother, apparently in connection with potential involvement in a film shoot.
The full exchange appears in U.S. Department of Justice data labeled DOJ Data Set 9 (EFTA01157206.pdf).
Within the visible emails, Josephson initiates the population remark and then pivots directly to professional matters involving the young teen, supposedly a relative of Epstein’s.
No explanation of the supposed “answer” appears in the disclosed messages, but Epstein suggested that Josephson could speak with Gates about the subject during their upcoming meeting.
