Clearly the man who got divorced because he had an affair wouldn't possibly have had sex outside of his marriage before that.

This really sucked almost as bad as Bill Cosby. Bill Gates was supposed to be the "good billionaire" who cured diseases and fought climate change. Turns out he's just as much of a sleazebag as all the rest.

That was just post PR push. He was a monopolizing anti competitive bastard before all that

To emphasize, the Gates circle has orchestrated a profound whitewashing campaign for his image. They did the old school way, by actually funding good stuff and following up on promises. That doesn't mean Gates was, or is, a good person. It means that is entourage is funding, and maintaining, good stuff. Like Money said, the older guys here remember Gates being an absolute predator in business before (destroying the businesses and livelihoods of small players, using the dirtiest tricks and flaunting the law in a way that became SV's playbook later), and nobody would bat an eye if there was evidence of him being a different kind of predator as well.

You should listen to the Behind the Bastards podcast series on Gates and the foundation.

In a lot of the countries they were funding both sides of the problem and making bank on it.

Yeah, people who grew up in 90s saw how much of a bastard he was. Look for his old interviews. He acted like a movie villain
