Re: Too late for going after Bill Gates...
He still sits on the board as an 'advisor' so if he advises the board to pass something that violates FTC regulations, he can be held responsible, especially if he lied in his recommendation. He can also be hauled in for policies he enacted while CEO or Chairman of the Board.
EG, if he implemented a business deal back in 2013 that violates consumer privacy, and the deal is still violating privacy laws, he may be found responsible.
Or if the board is making a decision on some new technology or deal (Like sharing information from the Telemetry feature with other companies). He then tells the board that the technology is perfectly safe and carries no risk of privacy violations. It is then found that the feature is leaking a lot of personal information and he either intentionally lied or neglected to carry out his due diligence, he could be sentenced.
