He transferred millions of $ to ep5te1n at the break of the scandal. <is he part of some club?>

More time spent with wife due to pandemic sheltering.

Strained relationship over time commitments of late.

Children are grown up, parents developing psychological distance over time.

Were you more inspired by his ripping off his 'friend' at the beginning, his incompetence at making a stable OS even with all the resources in the world or his post Microsoft experimenting on poor countries with GM crops in the name of charity? As an idol he's only better than a drug lord because he made more money.

They've been together 27(?) years, I'd say they had a pretty good run, most people don't keep friends that long.

Lets say Bill gets a girlfriend, that will impact the later settlement.

At his age?!
It's more likely that Melinda has a boyfriend.
