Bill is hardly responsible - Depends
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, March 15 2013 @ 12:15 PM EDT

With his share in the company - how much control, if any, is he exercising over their policies/behavior?

Of course, he'll claim zero! But then, can we trust a man at his word who has been known to lie on the stand in Court after having taken an Oath?

And perhaps he is exercising no direct control... but then I didn't specify direct... so it could be some management team of the Gates Foundation who report to BG who are ... suggesting... changes that could be applied.

Given BG's background and the Gates Foundation strings required in order to receive a "donation" - I seriously doubt BG is totally hands off.

On the flip side - perhaps BG simply found a company whose business minds think as he does so he truly has been totally hands off.
