As we noted shortly after the Crown Prince’s purge of potential rivals within Saudi Arabia’s sprawling ruling family, while the dozens of arrests were made under the pretext of an "anti-corruption crackdown", Mohammed bin Salman’s ulterior motive was something else entirely: Replenishing the Kingdom’s depleted foreign reserves, which have been hammered for the past three years by low oil prices, with some estimating that the current purge could potentially bring in up to $800 billion in proceeds.
And, in the latest confirmation that the crackdown was all about cash, the Financial Times reports today that the Saudi government has offered the new occupants of the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton a way out.... and it’s going to cost them: In some cases, as much as 70% of their net worth.

Interesting. Giving the IRS ideas....
This doesn't leave a lot of money left over to bribe the DNC, the Podesta's and the Clintoons!
“Interesting. Giving the IRS ideas....”
Sure. The IRS is always open to new ways to fund our loving FedGov. /s
However, from what I’ve read, the people arrested are scum ... many *could* be tied to child trafficking rings. Some influence behavior here in the USA. These arrests are an overall good thing on the surface.
I’m wondering why the media isn’t covering ANY of this ... seriously, they haven’t said much about the entire event.
Good! There’s been far far far far far too much islamonazi $$ sneaking into America buying off our politicians
If Trump can succeed in cutting off the islamonazi $$’s and Mexican $’s/pesosgoing to the DNC/Clintons and other rats,
they will not be able to buy an ad in Newsweak or Slime.
This by the young Saudi Jared Kushner.
Just like the Roman proscriptions.
Nano. Make them also give evidence on others.
Still leaves them with plenty of money. Smart move by the new guy.
Let them go with plenty of rea$ons to not to cause trouble.

“Make them also give evidence on others.”
The Sauds have zero restrictions getting info from their prisoners.

Bad move, they’ll take the deal, pool their money, and conduct a coup of one kind or another. I give it 2-3 years to happen.
Congress wants all your savings. Plus you stay a slave.
