Was Ted Waitt involved with Jeffrey Epstein?

There is no evidence in the documents suggesting Ted Waitt had any direct involvement or relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

American billionaire, co-founder of Gateway Computers

Ted Waitt is the billionaire co-founder of Gateway Computers who was in a serious seven-year relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell from approximately 2003-2010, appearing in the Epstein files primarily through personal correspondence with Maxwell and legal documents discussing their relationship.

Waitt appears in the files in several substantive ways: personal emails exchanged with Maxwell (addressing her as 'Gmax') showing their romantic relationship, legal documents and trial testimony describing Maxwell's relationship with him following her involvement with Epstein, and court records noting his role in Maxwell's life during the 2002-2010 period. Many documents reference Maxwell's relationship with Waitt as evidence of her having 'moved on' from Epstein. However, it should be noted that Waitt himself was not directly involved with Epstein; his appearances are primarily through his relationship with Maxwell.
