Beijing time, this morning, Bill Gates suddenly brushed the screen. According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft Corp's board decided that Bill Gates should leave the board. It is reported that Microsoft Corp's board of directors made the decision at a time when he launched an investigation into Bill Gates, and Microsoft Corp's board is investigating his previous relationship with a female employee.

After the divorce of Bill Gates and his wife Melinda, there have been more reports of his love affair. The most powerful of these is his relationship with Epstein, an American billionaire who has been plagued by a sex scandal. Epstein was charged with sex trading in New York in 2019 and faced trial on suspicion of organizing the trade of underage young women.

Bill Gates is both a genius, a former richest man and a well-known philanthropist. In the new crown pandemic in 2020, Bill Gates appeared frequently in front of the public, so he was threatened by the public. According to past practice, it is not a big deal for American tycoons or even presidents to have sex. So, will Bill Gates' human setting collapse this time? Is his incident another conspiracy?

Bill Gates was kicked out of the board

According to the Wall Street Journal, people familiar with the matter said Microsoft Corp's board members believe Bill Gates needs to step down because they are investigating the billionaire's previous relationship with a female Microsoft Corp employee, which is considered inappropriate.

Earlier, a Microsoft Corp engineer claimed in a letter that she had maintained a sexual relationship with Gates for many years, according to people familiar with the matter. Subsequently, the board member in charge of the matter hired a law firm to investigate at the end of 2019. During the investigation, some board members decided that Mr. Gates was no longer fit to serve on the board of directors of the software company he founded and led for decades, people familiar with the matter said. Another person familiar with the matter said Mr. Gates should resign before the board's investigation is completed.

A spokesman for Microsoft Corp said: "Microsoft Corp received concerns about Bill Bill Gates's attempt to establish a close relationship with the company's employees in the second half of 2019," Microsoft Corp said. With the assistance of an external law firm, the board committee reviewed this concern and conducted a thorough investigation. Throughout the investigation, Microsoft provided a wide range of support to employees who raised doubts. "

"about 20 years ago, one thing ended in a friendly way," said a spokesman for Mr. Gates. "his decision to quit the board has nothing to do with the issue," she said. In fact, he expressed interest in spending more time on philanthropy a few years ago. "

Peach Gates

Bill Gates (Bill Gates) reportedly began courting several women who worked for him at Microsoft Corp and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) shortly after he married his current wife in 1994.

It is not clear how much Melinda knows about her husband's alleged office behavior. But what really shook their marriage was her husband's relationship with financier Jeffrey Epstein Epstein.

Melinda conveyed to Bill as early as 2013 that she felt uncomfortable with Epstein after the Epstein couple met him in 2013. Then in 2019, the New York Times reported details of her husband's relationship with Epstein that she didn't know before. She then hired a divorce lawyer and initiated the divorce announced earlier this month.

According to the Global Times, the Wall Street Journal reported on the 9th that Gates and his wife announced their divorce last Monday, but did not publicly discuss the reasons for the marriage change. One of Melinda's concerns about marriage comes from her husband's relationship with Epstein, which she has been concerned about since 2013, according to staff and former employees of the Gates and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal show that Melinda has made a number of phone calls with legal counsel since October 2019, when it was revealed that Gates had met several times with Epstein, who is notorious for sexually assaulting underage girls and engaging in the sex trade. At the time, the New York Times reported that Gates had visited Epstein's house in Manhattan at least three times and stayed late into the night at least once. In the article, the New York Times detailed Epstein's relationship with a group of dignitaries, saying that "unlike many people, Gates dated Epstein after he was convicted of a sex crime."

Gates and Epstein first met in 2011, after Epstein was jailed for 13 months for abducting underage girls for sex and hiring prostitutes, according to the Wall Street Journal. Melinda, a global women's rights advocate, told her husband that she was not feeling well with Epstein after meeting with her husband in 2013. However, Gates and members of the foundation are still in contact with Epstein, which always bothers Melinda.

Melinda was angry at Gates' meeting with the wealthy sex offender, which became "a turning point in the Gates relationship." However, Gates issued a statement on his relationship with Epstein in 2019, saying that while he admitted meeting with Epstein, he denied having a business relationship or friendship with him, saying that the meeting with Epstein was for charity and that he did not attend any parties.

Jeffrey Epstein, an American billionaire who founded J. Epstein & Co., owns a private Boeing 727 and owns what is said to be the largest private mansion in New York City's Manhattan. He was sentenced in Florida in 2007 for hiring prostitutes. He was charged with sex trading in New York in 2019. Geoffrey Epstein, 66, committed suicide in a lower Manhattan prison on the evening of Aug. 9, 2019. He was taken to hospital by cell guards to try to save him, but he was certified dead. Before his death, he faced trial on suspicion of organizing transactions with underage young women.

Are you supposed to be dead? Conspiracy theory?

Since Bill Gates and his wife announced the end of their 27-year marriage on May 5, it has sparked heated debate among people from all walks of life about the reasons for their divorce and the distribution of their property, according to the Daily Business News. According to media reports, the first hearing on the divorce of Bill Gates and his wife was held in Washington State on May 14, local time, and the divorce verdict was April 4, 2022, which means that the divorce involving more than $140 billion will not fall to the ground until a year later. During this period, a number of hearings may be held.

Although the divorce verdict is a year later, the Cascade Investment investment company founded by Bill Gates has transferred another 2.25 million shares of Deere to Melinda, with a market value of about $851 million, according to the latest regulatory filings.

In addition, on the day of the divorce, Bill Gates gave Melinda 1.8 billion worth of shares such as Coca-Cola Company Vansa bottles (FEMSA), and Melinda received a "break-up fee" of more than $3 billion, or about 19.3 billion yuan, in half a month.

However, these are not the most important points. Importantly, Gates' love affair has been more popular than his divorce. His men assumed that there was a possibility of collapse. So, is this another conspiracy? In fact, the Gates affair has happened before, but this time it has been a bit intensive. Looking back on the experience of Gates in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic in the past year, it is undeniable that there is no element of conspiracy theory.

According to data compiled by Zignal labs, a joint analysis agency of the New York Times, Bill Gates was a favorite target for novel coronavirus's misinformation at that time. Conspiracy theories that confuse it with viruses were mentioned 1.2 million times on television and social media between February and April, peaking at 18000 a day in April. Bill Gates has repeatedly publicly disagreed with Trump and criticized US epidemic prevention measures, making it an "eyesore" for right-wing and anti-vaccine groups. From April to May, a large number of demonstrators gathered in Austin in the United States and Melbourne in Australia, chanting "arrest Bill Gates" and calling for economic restart and opposition to the blockade. During that time, Gates even received death threats.
