Bad Bill
Bill Gates spent his time after retiring from Microsoft building a reputation as a loving, generous, and philanthropic nerd.
Reports continue to surface of the corrupt behavior of the software billionaire, who mistreats and sexually proposes employees. Not to mention his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, a sex trafficker.
The Wall Street Journal has just reported that Gates' top lawyer and top human resources officer had to work together in 2008 to warn him to stop harassing a female employee via email. This means that the company was aware of Gates problematic behavior even when he was Microsofts chairman.
