Gates Makes Largest Donation Since 2000 With $4.6 Billion Pledge (bloomberg.com)
From a report: Bill Gates made his largest gift since the turn of the century, giving away Microsoft shares that accounted for 5 percent of his fortune, the world's biggest. The billionaire donated 64 million of the software maker's shares valued at $4.6 billion on June 6, according to a Securities & Exchange Commission filing released Monday. While the recipient of the gift wasn't specified, Gates has made the majority of his donations to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the charity he and his wife use to direct their philanthropic efforts. It's the largest gift of Microsoft shares that Gates has made since 2000. The 61-year-old gave away $16 billion worth of Microsoft shares in 1999 and $5.1 billion a year later, according to calculations by Bloomberg.
Gee, and who's the trustee's of his and his wife's foundation??? Why it's Bill and Melinda with their good buddy Warren "trailer park slum lord" Buffet. They are all listed as those who "control" the fund. I guess you missed the whole HPV vaccine scam the foundation had going on the benefited him and his wife + Buffet DIRECTLY??? Do you also think the Clinton Foundation is all on the up and up too? There is some missing 501(c)(3) filings that say otherwise.
