[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 child) Probably the former as I doubt defrauding a Saudi prince would result in mere incarceration. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago Fair, though since it was a leveraged buyout, I reckon it would be JP Morgan Chase who'd be getting defrauded. The only question is whether MBS wants that kind of image for the saudi PIF. Essentially, MBS and Kushner would find a way to spin all the valuable IPs into other companies and leave only the debt and maybe some IPs at EA Games. Then it becomes a worthless company that owes JPMorgan Chase 20 billion with a fairly high interest rate. permalink fedilink source parent
