The practice of yachting has become more difficult to hide as it has become more prevalent.
New media is producing an ever growing number of reality stars, Instagram models and D list celebrities from obscure streaming shows.

While many of these new celebrities have considerable followings, they’ve discovered that fame doesn’t always translate into income.
Several ladies have come up with a clever way to monetize their celebrity -- selling their bodies. (aka “living my best life”)

There is a website called Tag the Sponsor. The creators of the site troll Instagram models by posing as wealthy sheiks (in chats). They offer to sponsor the model’s trip overseas. The trolls then see how far the women are willing to go sexually.

Bani is connected to two royal families from Persian Gulf countries. Even though Enty has not revealed the countries, I strongly suspect Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The women most in demand are celebrities from English-speaking countries.
The reason: rich pervs want the women they see on television and in the tabloids. The more famous the better. The women are status symbols, just like the yachts.

You may be wondering how these women get paid. Enty explains that in some cases a model will be given expensive merchandise or jewelry overseas.
When she returns home, the model claims to have bought the item(s) in the US.

If anyone challenges her claim, Bani will have a merchant in the US provide a receipt.
The model then has the option to keep the “gift” or sell it for cash.
Perfect.

Another scheme involves setting up a front company in the US and then paying models to promote the company’s product.
Have you ever been to Millions of Milkshakes? Probably not since there are only two locations, Los Angeles and Dubai. 🤣

In one particularly juicy blind, Bani dishes the dirt on how a lingering dispute over a certain celebrity results in the murder of one Emirati or Russian every year as the two sides go tit for tat.

It’s no surprise to learn that Saudia Arabia is a big player in the world of yachting, but the UAE is coming on strong.
The UAE is not only rising in the yachting scene; the country is a growing presence on the geo-political stage as well (are they related?)

The chairman of the FDD is our old friend James Woolsey.
Otaiba is especially cozy with John Hannah, former deputy national security adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney.

Paschal was part of Otaiba’s entourage.
They spent many nights in strip clubs and at exclusive parties in DC, New York, Vegas, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, usually in the company of high-class escorts.
