Kimmo 76,622 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 A company that once took millions of dollars from a prominent Saudi Arabian family backed Scooter Braun's purchase of Taylor Swift's old record label Scooter Braun's purchase of Scott Borchetta's Big Machine Label Group was backed by a private investment company that took millions of dollars from Osama Bin Laden's family The purchase was backed by the Carlyle Group, according to the Wall Street Journal. The private equity firm has been a minor investor in Ithaca since 2017. But long before that, the firm has had thousands of investors, including influential Washington political figures and, more controversially, the Bin Laden family. Osama Bin Laden's brother was reportedly at a Carlyle business conference on the day of the September 11 attacks, according to The Washington Post. A day earlier, former President George HW Bush, another Carlyle investor, was also at the conference. The Bin Laden family liquidated its holdings with the Carlyle Group in October 2001, just over a month after the 9/11 attacks, which intelligence officials believe were financed by Osama Bin Laden's terror group, al-Qaeda. The firm has provided investment to a number of companies throughout the years, including Vogue International, Dunkin' Donuts. And Dr. Pepper, according to its portfolio. As part of its role in the Big Machine Label Group acquisition, the Carlyle Group will make another investment in Ithaca, bringing the combined holding company value to more than $800 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. https://www.insider.com/carlyle-group-scooter-brauns-label-purchase-osama-bin-laden-ties-2019-7?utm_content=buffer5ab0b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer-insider-twitter Hottie Detector Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 The Bin Laden family are a well known and respected family that even America works with, they are not Osama Bin laden. You all know who are the true supporters of terrorism, its not Scooter. Most of you guys voted and supported funding terrorism but I guess you dont care and play dumb until it effects your favorite pop star lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this kind of dirt is easy to dig up on anyone who's rich because, as we are often reminded, people with an extreme amount of money have done some shady things (often alongside shady people) to accumulate that much wealth. Just my two cents. Swifties will run with the headline and ignore the issue of artists being exploited in the music industry though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
