ZeroHedge: Saudi Banks begin freezing accounts - arrest royals - block private jets
Two days after the most stunning purge in recent Saudi history, the so-called "anti-corruption probe" - which was really a countercoup - that led to the arrest of dozens of Saudi Arabian royals, ministers and businessmen allowing Mohammed to further cement control over the Kingdom, appeared to be widening on Monday when, as Reuters reports, Saudi banks begun freezing the accounts of those arrested.

He's had the Saudi Royal Airforce in his pocket even buying each pilot a Bently. From August 5th to the 28th all the Saudi fighter pilots were in Vegas. Alwaleed was educated in the US.
JASTA. Will be interesting to see how these arrests will affect the outcome of the lawsuits. Perhaps they are predetermining guilty parties.
AND FINALLY, THERE'S THIS:
