The Daily Mail reported Wednesday that Borgerson has been dating and housing Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's alleged madam who has stayed out of the public eye since 2016. Maxwell was a key part of Epstein's inner circle, and reportedly recruited underage girls for Epstein and participated in their abuse.

The Daily Mail reported Maxwell had become a "homebody" who was "hiding out" at Borgerson's home, and that the pair have been dating for around five years. However, Borgerson denied the report Wednesday to Business Insider, and said Maxwell is a "former friend." Borgerson said he has been traveling for work for the week, during which no one has been staying at his home.
"Ghislaine Maxwell is not at my home and I don't know where she is," Borgerson told Business Insider. "I'm passionate about ocean policy and wish people were as interested in Jones Act reform, joining the law of the sea, and funding icebreakers."

The Daily Mail also captured photos that it claims show Borgerson walking Maxwell's dog in Boston. However, Borgerson told Business Insider that the dog in the photographs is actually his, and his name is Secretary Hamilton — named after founding father Alexander Hamilton, who founded the Coast Guard.

Another Daily Mail article, published Thursday, alleged details about Borgerson's previous marriage, which reportedly ended in 2014 and through which the tech CEO has two children. Borgerson has not responded to Business Insider's request for comment since Wednesday.

However, Borgerson isn't the only tech mogul with ties to Jeffrey Epstein and his circle. Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Marvin Minsky, MIT's "father of artificial intelligence" have all been connected to Epstein.
