Tom Kirkman + 8,860 October 7, 2018 Presented without comment, for your consideration. Season with salt as necessary. 19 Banks Merge, Etihad, Mubadala Can't Pay Back Debt, Aramco Can't Pay Salaries, UAE/Saudi Halt 3 Projects of $243 Billion, $11 Billion Bail Out For Bahrain & Jordan ... Things are so bad on 4 Oct 2018 in Saudi that although the King of Saudi cancelled the plan for Aramco IPO last month (which also we had predicted that it will never happen) and now Aramco has no money to pay salaries. What better proof than an actual video of police shooting on hundreds of Aramco employees on 3 Oct 2018 who were protesting over unpaid salaries.

Will post details soon... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get a load of this PR fluff ($2 trillion? *eye roll*) “I believe late 2020, early 2021,” he said, referring to the timing of the IPO. “The investor will decide the price on the day. I believe it will be above $2 trillion. Because it will be huge.” Like I said, reminds me of the infotainment of CNN. Arab News is an English-language daily newspaper published in Saudi Arabia. It is published from Riyadh. The target audiences of the paper which is published in broadsheet are businessmen, executives and diplomats. Arab News was founded in Jeddah on 20 April 1975 by Hisham Hafiz and his brother Mohammad Hafiz. It was the first English-language daily newspaper published in Saudi Arabia. Arab News is also the first publication of SRPC. The daily was jointly named by Kamal Adham, Hisham Hafiz and Turki bin Faisal. The paper is one of twenty-nine publications published by Saudi Research and Publishing Company (SRPC), a subsidiary of Saudi Research and Marketing Group (SRMG). The chairman of SRMG and therefore, Arab News is Turki bin Salman Al Saud. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We know who Turki Bin Salman Al SAud is and Kamal Adham is (was) the "General" Kamal Adham Arab News is a mouth piece of the KSA, but they have good info. And for the info obtained, the incident was not at all involving employees of Aramco. As was mentioned by Justin, construction crew for unrelated companies. I highly doubt Aramco would not pay their employees, perhaps some unscrupulous sub contractors may screw their own TCN's workers , which is fairly common thru out the GCC. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

txwylie + 3 GW October 8, 2018 These are false articles...I traced them to their core source in Tehran. I worked with Saudi Aramco for over 13 years, 8 of which were in Project Management. Construction contractor owners sometimes keep the progress payments from Aramco and do not pay their workers. The Royal family has been and will continue to work hard to weed out this type of corruption. This is a false article from Iran with an aim to curtail investment in Saudi Arabia. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
