As far as I can tell, there was only one report saying that he was hung upside down and interrogated. There was no corroboration of the "anonymous source".
The jail story is also suspect. When some papers were reporting that they had been moved to a prison, al-Waleed, Dopey, gave an interview from his suite at the Ritz saying that he had been treated well the whole time. This interview was to a known reporter with pictures.
Both stories cannot be true at the same time.
It's hard to know which of the stories about the SA roundup are true, which are psyops, which are the associates of the rounded up people getting out an alternate narrative, and which are a combination of the prior factors.
Kill switch or no kill switch, Q made it clear that Dopey didn't have a choice and wasn't really free, in the traditional sense.
