NDAs to hide crimes are illegal and unenforceable.
They're literally extortion.
Would you gamble legality over the power these people have, though? Laws don’t really work for these people. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if her life had been threatened if she revealed anything. Maybe not by Bill directly, but by one from their in-crowd at least.
These people have “fixers”. They’re probably on the books as something like “security consultant.” Possibly at Microsoft itself. I’ve seen people at other companies who have had to deal with this kind of thing for speaking up. These people are literally paid bully threatening assholes with a company’s tech backing for cyberstalking and the lawyers on retainer to back them up. Wouldn’t surprise me if Bill would sick such a person on his wife.
Microsoft contracts with the Pinkertons for private security.
Yes - those Pinkersons.
The Pinkertons of MtG fame? deep shock
Like the ones in the weezer album?
