"bill gates?"
You do know why he was arrested, right? He was driving a 911 Carrera and didn't realize how fast (100+) he was going. Seriously.

We have Al Capones mugshot at work
Wasn't Bill Gates involved in getting the 959 into the US?

Gates supposedly made all his college money by selling "blue boxes"- devices that emmit test signals and allow free phone call from public phones. That's the rumor I remember. What a start.
Gates and Larry Ellisson(sp) supposedly had a couple year long legal battle to get the 959 in, and finally managed under severe conditions(something like 1,000 miles per year max on the vehicle etc..)

From what I heard, Gates bought something like 10 miles of highway just to drive his 959 legally. |
