Ted Waitt, the billionaire co-founder of Gateway computers, just dropped some serious bombshells about his six-year relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell. In closed-door testimony, Waitt told lawmakers he never would’ve dated Maxwell if he’d known what we all know now. He also admitted to paying her a whopping $7.2 million after their breakup in 2010, a decision he now deeply regrets.
According to The Guardian, Waitt’s testimony, given to the House Oversight Committee on April 30, 2026, paints a complicated picture of his relationship with Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking crimes. The transcripts of the testimony, released on May 13, reveal that Waitt met Maxwell and Epstein at a dinner in Hong Kong in November 2003.
