How did he con Bill Gates?

Simple.

Liberalism is a mental disorder and that is our hope.

".... the US government invested $150 million in Abraaj....."

Can someone explain to me how the US government can "invest" anything into any company?

The only money the US government has is provided by the taxpayers. And as such, "investing" into a company would be more accurately described as "spending" taxpayer dollars.

The government doesn't invest in anything. All they do is spend our money.

I could care less about Bill Gates being conned. I do very much care the federal government gave the con $150 million.
