Since Bill and Melinda Gates announced the end of their marriage, reports have emerged suggesting that the guru’s image as laundered by mainstream media was not revealing everything about the trillionaire, sparking allegations of Gates’ friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and tendency to engage in workplace affairs.

The media’s squeaky-clean image of Bill Gates is merely the result of good PR. There is a different side to the Microsoft founder, Business Insider reported on Tuesday, quoting people proven to be familiar with the skirt-lifting drunk.

According to the report, Gates loved parties and engaged in multiple sexual affairs with selected employees as if they were of his harem. Habitually, he will impulsively and unpredictably shriek and yell at staffers. If that wasn’t enough, it is reported by those in the know and without an axe to grind that he was a regular guest at the house of  Israeli  the late sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein.

After Bill and Melinda Gates announced their divorce, female employees of Microsoft began coming forward with stories of how the billionaire asked them out, and ‘details about his visits to strip clubs years ago emerged’.

‘A person like Bill Gates thinks the usual rules of behaviour don’t apply to him,’ Maria Klawe, a former Microsoft board member, said.

In particular, allegations emerged that Gates would yell at everyone at the office. Four unnamed women who worked with him at Microsoft revealed that he (Bill Gates) was ‘brash and hot-tempered’.

‘Having a meeting with Bill was just an opportunity to get yelled at, so I tried to avoid that,’ a former Microsoft executive said.

According to people who said they were familiar with the matter, a catchphrase for the CEO was ‘That’s the stupidest f*cking idea I’ve ever heard’. Some employees ‘appreciated his candour’, however, noting that ‘Bill yelled at everyone the same’.

Others argued that his communication style was because he is ‘just an awkward human being as far as social interactions go’.

When it came to partying, Gates was a ‘regular attendee of exclusive after-parties’ at major computer expo trade conferences, where he would get ‘drunk pretty easily’, according to Robert Cringely, a columnist for InfoWorld.

‘All of us will have been at some affair where Bill was clearly impaired. He was happier drunk’, Cringely claimed, cited by The Business Insider.

Dan Graves, a former Microsoft export manager, told The Insider that in the 1980s at a party in Switzerland, he personally discovered Gates lying on top of a woman outside on the lawn, and suggested that the pair were ‘just snuggling’.

The Business Insider also takes a look at bgC3 (Bill Gates Catalyst 3), a ‘private office-style entity’ (independent existence) focusing on Gates’ interests outside Microsoft and his former marriage. According to the report, it was bgC3 that also played the role in the couple’s split. Gates used bgC3 to coordinate a $2 million donation from Epstein to MIT.

‘It was a ‘third leap into something new’‘, a former bgC3 employee said of the entity that was, according to the report, ‘far from Melinda’s oversight’. Source
