Goodbye Ritz Carlton. Saudi Arabia's billionaire prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, has been carted off to Al Ha'ir prison, south of Riyadh, after refusing to pay  a reported $6 billion to Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman to secure his freedom, following a massive consolidation of power on November 4, 2017 in which over 300 princes, ministers and other elites were rounded up in an "anti-corruption" purge.

Alwaleed's Trump tweets in 2015:

I wonder if that has something to do with his current situation... I would guess it is likely... Apparently he was very close to the Clintons... Bet on the wrong horse which is dangerous in his business...

Sooner or later, he will pay up.

When they put the wicker "head basket" just outside his cell, he may suddenly "come around" to capitulation!

Isn't this the one who ended up with the Trump Princess?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Tons but only a few dozen really matter.  All the important ones have administrative positions and you can tell who's who by them.
