Not that I really want to give credence to this, but it really does sound like something straight out of some cheesy internet movie like "The Net" or "Antitrust". Just picture it: some guys stiffs Bill Gates for $9M. So what if it's pocket change to him- it's the principle. Well, a couple of weeks later, he's found dead of "multiple organ failure" despite being only 32, the victim of some rare poison which gives off effects similar to a freak disease and is only used by well paid assassins. Or better yet, Bill Gates opened up the little panel on the side of his desk which controls all of his minions and their implanted chips. His hand hovering over a large red button marked "SMITE" just long enough for him to think twice before pressing down and sending another man to his death. See- this is what staying up until the wee hours of the morning, studying Physics, does to your mind. SI

The conspiracy theory is fun and all, but it's pretty obvious to me that the guy OD'd on something in a successful suicide attempt. When the news first broke there were all kinds of threads going around work with people ridiculing him (although the blame really belongs to the lack of oversight in internal purchasing) and pasting links to his personal website.
He had a tremendous ego and his website was off the charts on the UIC (unitentional comedy for those that don't read the Sports Guy) scale. He had a guest book on the site, and the day after the news broke there must've been several hundred entries in it making crude jokes about how he was destined to be someone's prison bitch. I feel bad for his friends and family, and if it's true that this was a suicide then I feel empathy for his inner turmoil, but he was going to earn every year of jail time that he would've been sentenced to. I have a low tolerance of exceptional greed and dishonesty. Edited becuz I kant spel veri gud. Last edited by dawgfan : 02-12-2003 at 05:21 PM. |

On a related note, a tentacled employee of Bill Gates was overheard purchasing an airline ticket from Seattle to Dallas. Somebody ought to warn Jerry Jones.

No need to warn Jones. I'll take care of him myself.
