I sold Bandar 475 spruce trees 15' to 28' tall back when he built his estate in Aspen. Almost a million dollars in trees were delivered there. Just down the way a bit is the Pelosi estate. Everyone that is anyone has a place there. Never saw the man. When he would visit all workers would leave the place and he would come in. Over 50 bedrooms for however many wives he brings in. The place was built in the late 80's and tax valuation is listed at 55 million which happened to be the rumored construction costs. The house has been on and off the market at $135 million. As the rich get richer.

Lots of the stolen money ends up in Aspen. In the 70's it was cocaine money and pot money.

Today it is gun money and taxpayer money. The thieves and rogues moved up. Houses owned by executives of Lehman, Goldman, JPM and the likes. The crooked love to sleep together.

That article was written by Michael Conniff the editor of Aspenpost.net and host of a morning talk show called Congames.

Bandar is rumored to be under house arrest in Saudi Arabia after a coup attempt against King Abdullah.

7000 people control all that wealth. While the general population works for a living. Sound familar?

Oligarchy rules.
