Many may have seen this popular post here about an article in The Guardian reporting on Bill Gates giving all his money to his own political machine and calling it charity.

It was when the entire international finance community realised that social media news about billionaires drove financial speculation. Once that happened they all became a united group of online shills for the people involved in whatever thing they are investing in.
