Like him or hate him..

"For those of you that blow the legality/monopoy horn, he also showed how staying in the gray, and sometimes red lines can be a quite profitable business venture.

Whine all you want, he has the cash."

Are you saying that having a lot of money justifies how you make it so long as you are not in prison (i.e. you "got away with it" or "the ends justify the means")? Or are you saying that by having lots of cash (of which some was made illegally) excludes others from questioning whether the gains were moral? Or that by doing either of the above people are "whining"?

Frankly, he made lots of money from his company Microsoft -- some of which was made illegally -- and the man is better compared to Jeffrey Skilling than Henry Ford.
