I read Paul Allen’s biography. There it seemed Gates could be (quite) a bit of a jerk. However, this thing about shares isn’t mentioned.

And was Gates removed from the board of Microsoft? Where did you get that information?

Seriously?

He "left" the board, which is the equivalent of "You can't fire me, I quit". He was removed.

Okay, you are right! I didn’t recall that bit of the shares and the news from the second article completely went by me.
