It turns out that there’s a mighty big coincidence about the timing of Melinda Gates’s decision to initiate a divorce.
I ignored the story that Bill and Melinda Gates are getting a divorce. Their personal life holds no interest for me, although I care that Bill Gates is having an outsize say in both the climate change debate and in the response to COVID. His skills as a computer programmer and his genius as a shark, scooping up other people’s creations, do not make him qualified to weigh in on the climate or COVID. But as I said, his personal life was a “meh” – that is, right until the Wall Street Journal hinted that Bill Gates’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein led directly to his divorce.
It’s been public information for a long time that Bill Gates met Epstein several times beginning in 2011. Even the New York Times, back in October 2019, reported on those meetings:
Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who committed suicide in prison, managed to lure an astonishing array of rich, powerful and famous men into his orbit.

Few, though, compared in prestige and power to the world’s second-richest person, a brilliant and intensely private luminary: Bill Gates. And unlike many others, Mr. Gates started the relationship after Mr. Epstein was convicted of sex crimes.

That is an interesting thought.
Maybe Melinda wasn’t as forgiving as Hillary. If so, good for her. If, on the other hand, this is a tactic to be able to dump a lot of stock without SEC approval, shame on her.
AS a side note, we keep pushing the acceptable border of deviant behavior further and further out.
Wife didn’t know about Bill until now??? sarc
No surprise, another media coverup. Just like Fauci's involvement with the Wuhan Lab.
Yep - interesting how this myth continues...
But in today's brain-fornicated/lethargic society...would sheeple even give a crap if it was?
Back in the late ‘90’s was doing contracts at M$, and there were rumors then that Gates, by then married, was still a “player”. Nothing concrete, and certainly nothing beyond him stepping out.
Didn’t think much of it; wealthy men tend to attract rumors.
And Paul Allen was the technical mind @ M$; Gates’ had his moment with early BASIC interpreters, but Allen was the one who coordinated the early technical moves @ M$. Without Allen, Gates would have been just another used-Altair salesman.
“I’ve read some of his source code and a lot of those ideas in it were ingenious”
I don’t doubt you but give a couple of examples. I’ve done a lot of assembly language which is probably what he used.
The MSM made a god out of this clown. Americans never question that kind of idolatry
Too bad. It’s how whole generations and whole nations get swallowed up in civil and military conflict.
But-I guess, when you don’t read history, that would be a kind of revelation
Thank you for that personal insight.
Sounds very credible.
Agree
Gates may have been black mailed by Epstein and his handlers...he certainly makes a juicy target.
Not to mention a former President.
Built my first Z80 machine in 1982. It used NewDos80.
Took a course in Basic. But was much more interested in what you could do with them than in programming them.
I'm 73, have never bought a factory production computer. Most of mine I built from scratch. Others, I bought used ones and improved them. Migrated to Linux beginning 1994, My favorite Linux machine is down right now, have been too busy to get it running again. Bought a new hard drive for it, but messed up the linux install. The distribution I downloaded showed only one disc, but in the middle of the install it asked for disc 2.
Needless to say, makes reinstall a mess. In the past I could just reformat the drive and start over. This one is a bit different. I need to fix it, but other priorities.
I remember Byte
I’m sure he programmed, but that was not his contribution to the world of computers.
Ha!
The amount of cash/stock that will change hands is small relative to the size of Bill's total net worth.
Local news sources say the wife got around $1.5 billion. No word about any division of their 4 homes or massive farm land holdings.
The wife just purchased a modestly priced home (less than $2 million) that is almost straight west across Lake Washington from Bill's mansion.
Her new house is quite close to the Gates Foundation HQ and within walking distance of the University of Washington.
Unknown if she plans to live there full time, or just stay there when she is doing Foundation related work.
IBM, which invented DOS, didn't think it was a big deal. They thought the future would be in selling hardware (like it had been for them in the past), and whosever hardware it was, would control the operating system. Boy, did they get it wrong!
