Here's 2min & 57 seconds that sums it up.

Bill & Balmer didn't even have an agreement with Seattle Computer Products when they pitched it to IBM. They waltzed in, lied & said they HAD IT and they could SELL IT knowing it could go into millions of computers. Then, they bought it for chump change from SCP. SCP was a tiny nothing of a company.

It's like finding a homeless guy with a stamp collection & buying his Inverted Jenny for $1,000 USD knowing damn well it's worth over $1.5M USD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_Jenny). Is it illegal? No. Is it greedy and cruel for no good reason? Absolutely. Did it help SCP? Sure. Just like it helps the homeless guy to have a thousand dollars while you keep $1.5M simply because you could take advantage of him and there was nothing he could do about it.

Again. Gates is a liar and a thief. It's probably damn lucky for him Epstein "hung himself" in that jail cell. Otherwise, we'd probably have proof a few more choice names to call him as well.

So they bought something for chump change, legally. So your complaint is that they promised it and then had to find a way to get it. Which they did. They didn't violate anything.

So you admit Gates did nothing legally wrong, it just offends you that SCP didn't make as much as you personally feel is valid.

You seem to dislike Bill Gates to an extreme degree to where you find the fact that he did something that is completely legal, and happens in nearly every business, to be abhorent.
