What do discoveries have to do with this? Einstein was a person whose
judgment on matters such as this - i.e. whether a man whom he knew
well over a period of decades was a decent human being - can be
trusted absolutely.
Obviously you have a very distorted picture of Einstein if he riminds
you of Bill Gates in some way. Gates is a product of chance and a
totally uninteresting individual; Einstein was a great scientist and
an admirable individual in every respect.
