    I used to work for a wealthy man that tried to buy the Marseilles soccer team from Robert Louis-Dreyfus, his financial backer was this same son of an dictator. When it came time to close, the son did not show up, neither did his money.

    That did not hurt their relationship because when my former employer got in trouble with his bank, to the tune of $500 million, he ran off to Libya under that same dictators protection.

    Small world, I also used to work for Louis-Dreyfus.
