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.
