Honestly there is a whole Netflix documentary in this story, this is really just a short overview of the story. During the final bits of editing a found some Taiwanese news clip that I got a friend to translate and in it they said that one of the brothers paid the mafia to spray chilli water into the eyes of one of the board members? (This may not have been related to K.W. directly though?!)

Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials.
Then he had to get out alive. This is his story.
