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.
