Watch: Ted Waitt in the Epstein files
1:08Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
Ted Waitt, the Gateway Computers co-founder, appears in the files as Ghislaine Maxwell's long-term romantic partner in the early-to-mid 2000s. The main evidence is a large set of personal emails between the two, mostly from 2004. Court and government records describe the relationship, and nothing in the material reviewed shows him dealing directly with Jeffrey Epstein.
Most of the 246 mentions are emails, and 176 of them have Waitt in the From, To or Cc line. The visible ones are personal, often affectionate messages with Maxwell, who is listed as "Gmax" or "G. Max", covering travel, golf, kayaking and his children. Eight legal records and two government records give independent context. These include trial testimony that Maxwell had "moved on" from Epstein by 2002 and started a long-term relationship with Waitt. They also include a deposition question that she was in a committed relationship with him by 2004, and Maxwell's own July 2025 interview with Todd Blanche, in which she said she fell "very much in love" with Waitt in 2003. Other files, including an Epstein-case document reproducing Wikipedia text and a press profile, repeat the relationship as background. They are not independent evidence about Waitt.
Key Highlights
- •A run of emails between Waitt and "Gmax", mostly March to October 2004, shows a close personal relationship. The messages cover travel plans, golf, kayaking, a Cuba-related forward and a hotel inquiry (Little Dix Bay and Dolphin Discovery). Some are affectionate or flirtatious. A few others are dated 'Jan 1, 4501', which is a corrupted date and not a real one.
- •Court records place Waitt in Maxwell's life after Epstein. Trial testimony (EFTA00156337) says Maxwell had stopped coming to Epstein's office and begun a long-term relationship with Waitt by 2002. A deposition (EFTA00068582) asks about him by name and describes him as Gateway's cofounder.
- •In her July 24, 2025 interview with Todd Blanche, Maxwell said she met Waitt and fell very much in love in 2003, and called it an amazing relationship.
- •Several records repeat published accounts that Maxwell was romantically linked to Waitt for several years and attended Chelsea Clinton's 2010 wedding as his guest. Other press material says the two were seen together in 2011, and one article calls him her only reported recent boyfriend.
- •Some of Waitt's mail went through his staff. One email goes to his executive assistant Erin Duffey with a tentative travel schedule. Another, dated October 2004, shows LivePerson CEO Robert LoCascio asking Maxwell for Waitt's email address to follow up on a mutual contact.
- •In the material reviewed, Waitt appears as Maxwell's partner. The records do not show him dealing directly with Epstein, and they do not allege wrongdoing by him. The tool lists 21 shared documents with Epstein, but the ones reviewed here are about Maxwell.
