Ponzi Of All Ponzis - 118 banks worldwide defrauded by Saudi conglomerate

[Nighthawk]

A dispute involving a Saudi-Arabian business empire ended after the judge ruled it was complicit in defrauding more than 100 banks for billions of dollars. Liquidators called it "the largest Ponzi scheme the world has ever seen," and the judge labelled it a "cauldron of corruption." The verdict ended the longest and most expensive case in Cayman Islands history, which began in July 2016 and cost more then $100 million. A court ruled that a giant Saudi-Arabian business empire was complicit in defrauding more than 100 banks, in what liquidators called "the largest Ponzi scheme the world has ever seen."

Funny the entire article didn't mention one word about what's going to happen with those Saudi fraudsters. At least Bernie Madoff is serving a 150-year sentence behind bars.

Somehow I'm guessing the bilateral extradition treaty between the Cayman Islands and the Kingdom isn't all that comprehensive, if one even exists....

And these are Saudi nationals. Chances are they would want to be extradited to Saudi Arabia which they would get nothing.
