Trump, Saudi Royals Find New Crypto Scheme for Luxury Islands
Al-Monitor breathlessly reports this 'notable fusion' just before Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) visits Washington. Remember, MBS, the man who allegedly ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi (CIA, 2018), now gets to mingle with Washington's elite. But don't worry, the deal includes a crypto scheme, because what's a luxury island escape without decentralized, unregulated
financing? While Maldives faces existential threats from climate change, these power brokers are busy creating an exclusive high-tech haven. It's almost poetic: profiting from the very systems that destabilize the planet, then selling a digital safe harbor to those who can afford it. The timing couldn't be more subtle, a 'gentleman's agreement' with the former President's brand, just as Saudi
influence peddling is under intense scrutiny. How many 'blood money' questions disappear when the digital cash register rings?
