It is impossible to imagine Bill Gates’s wealth without Bill Gates’s ingenuity and effort.

”I hans eget selvbillede var han på vej til at skabe noget meget stort”

Skandalen om Hesalights karismatiske stifter Lars Nørholt er ikke så kendt som Stein Bagger og Britta Nielsen. ”Men den var på mange måder lige så spektakulær,” siger journalist. Fredag blev Lars Nørholt idømt historisk hård straf
