Re: Saudi money

I have been called in to help on a big NYT investigation into how low oil prices have been affecting the personal finances of the royal family in Saudi Arabia. Obviously, they called in much of their cash from the likes of BlackRock and others but I thought you might have some ideas. Maybe some people to talk to?

I would think it's more than cutting down on yachts and private planes or selling real estate in Paris, Istanbul, London.

Any thoughts?

PS: does my story on Abraaj get me a meeting with Gates next time he is in town:)
