Only once did I get close enough in person to see the whites of Bill Gates' eyes. It was at a carefully staged event in Davos some years ago where a few media people were invited to a midnight "fireside chat" (yes, 12am). Fears that my invitation had been sent by mistake were confirmed on arrival as my name wasn't on the official list. But a kind gatekeeper let me in anyway to witness an eloquent Gates in his prime. That's all unravelling fast as Bill's divorce from Melinda becomes turns increasingly ugly. Super-nerd, it appears, also possesses a super-libido. First it was disclosures of an apparent relationship with sex fiend Jeffrey Epstein. Now we hear Gates resigned from the Microsoft and Berkshire directorate because of an undisclosed extramarital affair. Which goes to show – truth always emerges, no matter how powerful those who attempt to hide it. This morning's exclusive from the Wall Street Journal is republished below. – Alec Hogg.
