According to the investigation by Dagens Næringsliv (DN), Jeffrey Epstein played a pivotal and active role in securing millions of dollars in funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to the International Peace Institute (IPI), a UN-affiliated think tank headed by Terje Rød-Larsen. In 2013, Epstein arranged and facilitated a meeting between Bill Gates and Rød-Larsen at the Oslo home of Thorbjørn Jagland, then chair of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. Emails revealed that Epstein gave Rød-Larsen specific instructions on how to frame the conversation with Gates and pushed aggressively behind the scenes to help IPI receive significant grant money. Following this interaction, IPI received a $2.5 million donation from the Gates Foundation, with additional payments totaling several million more over the years.

His involvement raised serious questions, especially in light of his conviction years earlier for sex offenses involving minors. Despite this, he retained enough standing with Gates and IPI leadership to broker philanthropic deals at the highest levels. The investigation paints a clear picture: Epstein wasn’t just collecting names—he was actively leveraging them to embed himself in elite diplomatic and philanthropic networks, even after his criminal record was public knowledge.
