isn't all of softbank a money-laundering scheme? it's just kingdom of saud buying influence in the west.

Im kinda with the other reply, sneak. Isnt softbank a Japan/asian based cartel? From the first articles I can find they just cost saudia some money (not to say it wasnt laundered ... maybe they bought some softpaintings?)

Your second sentence contradicts your first.
