Bill Gates Quit Board As Microsoft Investigated His Affair With Employee | Read

Microsoft Corp. conducted an investigation into co-founder Bill Gates's involvement with an employee almost two decades ago after it was informed in 2019 of his attempt to start a romantic relationship with that person. The board reviewed the matter and held a "thorough investigation" with the help of an external law firm, the software giant said. It didn't reach a conclusion to the probe because Gates had stepped down before it was completed, Microsoft said.
