Why isn't the media inquisitive anymore? What's the biggest scandal really? The patent profiteering? The indisputable connection to Epstein? Crimes seen in the Bill Gates deposition (many of the same crimes persist to this very day, e.g. UEFI 'secure' boot to lock out competition and an attack on Java in the classic Microsoft fashion)? What about tax evasion and political meddling or the dark past predating this shady "foundation"?

Bill Gates Paid MIT Through Jeffrey EpsteinAny coverage about Gates that fails to mention his misbehaviour or unlawful behaviour (he was arrested numerous times over the years) would certainly be beneficial to him.
