Bill Gates, This Man Is Coming For You

WHITTEKER_after_gates.jpg Warren Buffett and Bill Gates will have to make some room at the business titans bridge table if one West Virginia man's utterly incomprehensible business plans come through.

William Whitteker makes up with confidence what he lacks in any coherent business strategy, saying: "Bill Gates is going to have to move down the line. He's not going to be top dog anymore."

SNAP!

Whitteker, according to this extremely skeptical report in the West Virginia Gazette, is planning what he calls a "global communications center" in Clay County, which will, he says, answer the phones for 12 million businesses worldwide.

Please to be ignoring the fact that Whitteker has no building, no clients, and no investors (that he'll name). The only thing he does have for sure is the Clay County sheriff's department breathing down his neck. They are a smidge suspicious of Whitteker's plans, since he has been charged with crimes in six states, and is a convicted fraudster.

So perhaps not the most auspicious beginning for a global business empire, but then neither was this.
