MBS met Kobe Bryant at the same Hollywood party that he allegedly exchanged cell numbers with Jeff Bezos
This may have nothing to do with Kobe Bryant's death, but it is an interesting coincidence that Bezos makes the hacking allegation just days before Kobe dies in a helicopter crash. Moreover, the paperwork filed by Churchill Ripley LLC, the consulting firm that was used to arrange MBS's multi week tour with business leaders in early 2018 does not mention the Hollywood dinner on April 4th 2018 and states that MBS met with Kobe on February 12th, 2018, nearly 2 months prior.
WTF is going on here?
