Besides the huge monthly stipends that every Saudi royal receives, the cables detail various money-making schemes some royals have used to finance their lavish lifestyles over the years. Among them: siphoning off money from “off-budget” programs controlled by senior princes, sponsoring expatriate workers who then pay a small monthly fee to their royal patron and, simply, “borrowing from the banks, and not paying them back.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

U.S. cables detail Saudi royal welfare program | Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n

I know very well connected Saudis (let’s leave it at that) and I have been shocked, truly shocked<\/em> at some of the statements I’ve heard them make about the Saudi Royal Family.
