No conflict of interest there. What could go wrong? /s
On a serious note that $20 billion demand is so ludicrous it's not even funny.

Not so ludicrous when it's "pay up or you're off the air."

He's a dictator and law has quickly become a facade in the US. All that was needed was for a money cult to hog government and for the opposition to be ok with becoming spineless leeches of their money as well.
