If only Richard Branson's behavior in dealing with the killing of Khashoggi by the Saudi Prince was Mimicked by not only Corporations in America, but worldwide.

But bombing Yemen is okay? Stay classy Richard

And buys 1 billion power ledger

He'd be a real president.

The Saudis are drone bombing hospitals in Yemen daily, glad he finally found a reason.

🙄

He's probably just using that to back out of the deal. Of all the things they do, and that's the one that did it?

Richard Branson freezes business ties with SaudisLONDON (AP) — British billionaire Richard Branson has frozen business links with Saudi Arabia amid reports that journalist Jamal Khashoggi may have been murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Branson says that if the reports are true, it would 'clearly change the ability of any of us in the West to do business with the Saudi government.' Branson, founder of Virgin Group, says he will suspend his directorships in two tourism projects in Saudi Arabia while an investigation takes place. He also is putting on hold discussions about a proposed Saudi investment in space companies Virgin Galactic and Virgin Orbit. Good. Bravo ! Thank you mr Branson.

Mysterious disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi leads companies to boycott Saudi summitMysterious disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi leads companies to boycott Saudi summit, while Richard Branson says he is halting talks over a $1 billion investment by Saudi Arabia in Virgin’s space firms as a result of the Khashoggi case. Nice to see a man, take a stand. The creepiness of Kushners never ends. Nepotism makes them creepy enough. Trump is fine with it because “enemy of the people” are getting what he thinks they deserve. He’s likely very envious of the Saudis which is why it will be business as usual.
