Mideast PIECE: Kushner's startup is seeking $100 million from Saudi-backed investment fund

Kushner’s startup is seeking $100 million from Saudi-backed investment fund



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/jared-kushners-startup-seeking-100-million-saudi-backed-investment-fund/

Senior White House advisor Jared Kushner is facing fresh scrutiny for financial conflicts-of-interests as a company co-founded by the president’s son-on-law seeks at least $100 million from the Middle East.

Upon entering the administration, Kushner did not divest his investment in Cadre, a real estate technology startup. The most recent financial disclosure form values his stake in the company between $5 million and $25 million.

Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that Cadre is seeking over $100 million from the SoftBank Vision Fund, which receives almost half of it’s money from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

The United Arab Emirates has also invested at least $15 billion in SoftBank.

must really believe they are going to get away with it like Wall Street, Phil Gramm et. al. Maybe they will. Maybe we are screwed.

Kelly Ann Conherway owns some poll company so I trust none of them.

shape shifting, manipulation, and deceit -- media, polls, politicians.

Don't any of these investors know what a bad risk Kushner and the Trumps are?
