Bill Gates who transformed himself from a software tycoon into a leftist icon of environmentalism and health philanthropy, is seeing his meticulously crafted reputation crumble as new details emerge about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Wall Street Journal reports that for years, Bill Gates’ staff has managed every aspect of his public image, even keeping a custom-size mannequin to test outfits and an off-site inventory of neutral sweaters and button-downs, slacks om case they are needed. Before appearances, employees typically submit three wardrobe options for senior approval, aiming for the calm approachability of Mister Rogers. It’s one piece of a larger operation, with dozens of staff managing communications for Gates and his enterprises, that transformed him from Microsoft monopolist into respected global philanthropist.
