My inscription to Keith Schilling, whose forth sent hundreds of legal threats across the world to stymie our book about the global and sprawling #1MDB scandal (finally out in UK last Thursday) #billiondollarwhale #jholow #FreedomOfSpeech Image
Dear Keith, I hope you find something more meaningful to do with your time than try to stop books from being published. It’s bad for society. P.S. thank you for all the extra publicity. The “Streisand Effect” is real.
Whose “firm” — sorry

Jho Low was in Macau a lot from 2015-2018, as well as Hong Kong Kong, Shenzhen & Thailand but after Najib’s electoral defeat his movements were more restricted to the mainland. We at ⁦@WhaleHunting_⁩ believe he’s under house arrest in Shanghai aljazeera.com/economy/2023/5…
Jho and others including Eric Tan all have wives and children now, they’ve been constant companions for years. Only Jasmine Loo Ai Swan appears to have broken from the group
China is holding Jho on a tight leash because of negotiations with Malaysia but also because his patrons in the spy services (Sun Lijun) are arrested and business partners at CCCC ousted. He went from an intelligence asset to a liability after Najib was voted out

More than 11 years ago, I was in Benghazi during the Civil War -- it was quieter on the East, so every day we'd drive as close to Sirte as possible to find out news about the final battle of the war (🧵 on my new book - please read on!)
One day, I was deep in the desert with @kristenchick and we found a crazy 18-year-old from LA, Chris Jeon, who joined the rebels for his spring break (after an internship at Blackrock in SF) Image
The story I wrote afterwards went viral. Here's the story thenationalnews.com/world/road-tri… and here's the video of Kristen and I finding him -- you can hear me at end saying "who is this guy?"

قبل أكثر من ثلاث سنوات، بدأنا، أنا  و @ScheckWSJ، بنشر مقالات عن التغيُرات الاقتصادية الـجريئة  في عهد الملك سلمان وابنه مـحمد بن سلمان. كتابنا ،الدم والنفط، يتحدث عن صعود مـحمد بن  سلمان إلـى السلطة وعاصفة نشاطاته خلال الأعوام الخمسة الأولـى من هذا الصعود.
إنَّ صعود مـحمد بن سلمان هو أمر مهم لأنّ كل الدلائل  تشير إلى أنه سيصبح ملكاً للسعودية في سن مبكر، والذي سيحضّره  لتولي زمام الحكم لعقود قادمة. وهو أبضاً يدفع بلده نحو تغيير سريع وجذري في المجالات الاجتماعية والدِّين والاقتصاد.
هو ليس كأي أحد آخر في التاريخ السعودي; هو شاب يافع، مهووس بالتكنولوجيا وحاكم يركز اهتمامه على الأعمال بهوسٍ في جدول عمله وبِعناية بالتفاصيل. كما انه أظهر نفسه أنه حسّاس للإنتقاد والإهانة، وصارم تُجاه الـمنشقين وقاسٍ مع أفراد عائلته.

More than 3 years ago, @ScheckWSJ & I began reporting on Saudi Arabia's bold economic changes under King Salman & his son Mohammed bin Salman. Today is publication day for BLOOD AND OIL, our book about MBS's rise to power & the storm of activity during his first 5 years in power Image
MBS's ascent is important because all signs point to him becoming the king of Saudi Arabia at a young age, setting him up to be in power for decades. He is also pushing his country toward rapid, radical change with regards to social practices, religion, and the economy
He's unlike anyone in #Saudi history, a young, technology-obsessed, business-focused ruler with an obsessive work schedule and attention to detail. He's also shown himself to be thin-skinned, brutal with dissidents and ruthless with his own family.

In latest surreal waste of money, Jho Low lawyers demanding our UK publisher not sell in Australia (where book has been on sale without any problem for a year by our US publisher...) #losttheplot #1mdb #jholow #billiondollarwhale #streisandeffect
Speaking of surreal: Jho Low is an intl. fugitive with an Interpol Red Notice & criminal charges in three countries. He refuses to answer a single question & says he can’t get a fair trial in ANY JURISDICTION. Yet, he thinks he can make spurious libel threats? #billiondollarwhale
Having recourse to the law if no other method works makes sense but British people should be incensed that the alleged criminals of the world try to use their libel laws to prevent the truth from coming out even if they have only the tiniest connection to the UK
