“Every meeting where I was with him were meetings with men,” Gates said. “I was never at any parties or anything like that."
Keep in mind, this is just what he’s actually admitting to. Like with all liars and cheats, the reality is usually much, much worse
He calls them women. Today maybe, but what were they back then?
Idk, I’m willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt because, despite the bullshit with Microsoft, he did some great charity work and raised his children well, which hints at some decency if it wasn’t his wife pushing him into it. There’s also reason to believe that some people will be named who were not guilty, but that’s only while nothing comes of the files or anything of the sort, because otherwise he squashes like a bug.
His charities are a tax evasion tool that happen to be helpful at some level.
And if he was half as honest, he wouldn’t have waited for the proof to be out there before admitting what he did.
What I suspect now is there might be more, but it hasn’t been released, so he won’t mentioned it.
And about his decency: he abused Microsoft leading position to enact all kinds of dirty and shady tricks. MS lost quite some lawsuits because of that, but he knew very well whatever downfall would happen way too late to fix things.
That’s not how taxes and charity works.
If you spend $100 minutes on charity and “write it off”, that saves you $30 on taxes. You’re still down $70.
(You only can claim itemized deductions if you have more than, roughly $12k of them, 24k if you’re married.)

You still assumes big money operates like commoners. That’s never the case.
If you spend $100 minutes on charity and “write it off”, that saves you $30 on taxes. You’re still down $70.
But if you own and control that charity then all you have done is move $100 from one pocket to another, avoiding giving $30 to the government.
affair with 2 Russian women
Seriously, how long has Russia been playing this “let’s get the world’s rich and powerful in places where we can blackmail the shit out of them”?
Honeypots are not just Russian. A great many countries and organized crime use this and a wide range of dirty tricks.
I still want an investigation.
“Women.”
Melinda didn’t divorce him because he cheated. That’s par for the billionaire course.
If he is introducing unknown trojans to Melinda, how can we trust Microsoft Windows 12 Copilot ShittyOS-1?
No, no, Trojans would have helped prevent the STIs
Who among us hasn’t tried to secretly slip their spouse some illegally obtained antibiotics so that they don’t discover you gave them an STD you caught while cheating on them at the home of your pedophile sex trafficking Mossad blackmailer buddy, in an attempt to stop them getting some of your billions of dollars in a divorce? I mean come on, is that really so bad?
Yeah no this doesn’t go away with a half-assed apology to the wrong people. If he wants absolution he knows what he has to do
Strange he’s apologizing for the women he cheated with but not the crotch rot.
Even if the claim of an STD is the single untruth in a sea of other now-admitted truths relating to his serial adulteries, just the fact that he was that careless should not be going without comment.
She’s well out of that marriage.
So brave.
“Affair”
So this means he’s donating all his money directly to people suffering financial insecurity, along with education on how to not be immediately taken advantage of by unscrupulous scammers, right? That could be the only possible way this wankstain could earn any amount of actual respect from the rest of society.
