In reply to the discussion: What do you think is the likelihood Kushner delivered top secret docs to MBS in return for $2B? [View all]grantcart
(53,061 posts)42. Your premise is faulty to begin with.
Kushner didn't get $2B
He, like a ton of other investment companies, gets a small sliver of the Saudi Sovereign fund to invest and he gets about $ 2 million a month in fees to invest the $ 2 billion.
I don't know what kind of investment they are making but if they are looking at investing in low capital companies to take to an IPO it is actually very labor intensive. They will do a complete investigation of 100 companies to find 10 that are viable then take those companies apart to pick one.
In any case his funds performance is not part of either the Saudi Government budget or House of Saudi personal funds but rather publicly held and audited Saudi Sovereign funds which are invested in publicly traded companies and are transparent.
If Kushner doesn't bring back a respectable ROI then they will take the $ 2 billion back.
To answer your question there is no chance that the $2 billion asset investment fund is payment for classified secrets because
1) It isn't a payment of $ 2 billion
2) If you are making a payment for a top secret operation you don't do it with funds that are controlled by independent board and broadcast it to the world.
If a purchase of top secret information is made then the payment is equally secret.

Jared acted like a security clearance was a license to sell our country's secrets.
