And I wouldn't, if I were the Saudis, count on making a lot of money from this any time soon,

Oh I'm sure the saudis will be making/made their investment back in non-monetary ways.

Makes more sense to consider these as payments for services already rendered.

But what about the source of funds for Hunter Biden’s laptop? Is anyone investigating that?

"I've never seen somebody get two-thirds of their money from a single investor

"It is normal to invest this money over a period of several years, so I don't think we can draw a firm conclusion yet. But, again, we're going back to a guy who's a real estate guy, and frankly, not a particularly good one at that, who's suddenly got $3 billion trying to do private equity deals competing against people who've been in this business for a long time. And I wouldn't, if I were the Saudis, count on making a lot of money from this any time soon," he said, adding: "U.S. private equity firms still raise the vast bulk of their money from U.S. investors. This is extraordinary — unprecedented — I've never seen anything like it."

“Unprecedented” is definitely a running theme with this circle of players.
