So I just read Bill Gates' 1976 Open Letter To Hobbyists, in which he whines about not making more money from his software. You know, instead of being proud of making software that people wanted to use. And then the bastard went on and made proprietary licences for software the industry standard, holding back innovation and freedom for decades. What a douche canoe.

His wife left him when she found out he's in the Epstein files. Because Bill Gates rapes children.

That is exactly how it looks. The timing is correct. I can imagine the argument, although, they might not have loved each other enough to even argue about it by that point.

Honestly, I wouldn't put it past him.

If I was a billionaire looking to make waves, I'd release a memoir upon my death bed, admitting to the kid rapey cabal. Nothing to lose. Hi Bill.
