Bizarre eBay auction: Adnan Khashoggi's abandoned papers!
Edited on Fri Apr-14-06 07:48 AM by newyawker99
Okay, first off a pre-emptive apology if this is a multiple post, but I <i>did</i> search for it first:
Somebody on eBay is offering

"More than 200 pounds of political, personal, and business papers belonging to Adnan Khashoggi, abandoned by him in his old apartment in Puerto Banus, Spain. Upon purchasing the apartment, several boxes were found filled with Khashoggi's private papers.

Includes many Iran Contra documents, copies of Iran Contra checks, Mcfarlane's letters to Adnan, Gorbanifar's original suggestion to Adnan that started the entire affair, Oliver Noth's subpoena, secret reports on Iran Contra affair. The Lockheed scandal. The Ismelda, Ferdinand Marcos indictments. Correspondence with King Fahd, Saudi ambassador to USA Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, several US presidents.

Iraqi tank deal, all Middle East Peace Plans from Nixon to Reagan in draft versions submitted to Adnan for review. Photo of Richard Nixon and B.B. Reboso in bathing suits on the beach in Key Biscayne toasting the start of Operation Groggy (wherein the CIA started importing cocaine into the USA).

A report that the CIA paid $1,000,000 in the late 1980's to now Prime Minister of India Singh. A report on King Fahd's state visit to Ronald Reagan in Washington DC.

An offer by Gorbanifar for Adnan to submit to the Saudi government that, in exchange for $100,000,000 payment, Gorbanifar would warn the Saudis when Iran would launch suicide boats laden with explosives against the Saudi petroleum instalations in the persian Gulf, in retaliation for the killing of the Iranian pilgrims during the Hajj.

Still located in Adnan's old apartment in Puerto Banus, Marbella, Malaga Spain."

3. This can't be real. It'll get pulled for sure.
I wish I could put in a bid for $15,000.01 (if it's real, then I'm afraid this guy wouldn't get paid!)

4. $15,000.....for an opening bid...
Edited on Thu Apr-13-06 08:15 PM by stillcool47
from a guy with zero feedback....I wonder how long it will stay up?


To place a bid of US $15,000.00 or more, you'll need to provide a valid credit card or complete the ID Verify process ($5).

5. I reported it to eBay under the reason that the product is potentially
stolen property. How are we to know that the documents were obtained legally, if they in fact exist? If the don't exist, then this most likely a scam to get $15,000 off the first sucker to take the bait.

You'll probably end up receiving 5 boxes full of newspapers.

8. I wondered about that too...
Um, not especially well-versed in Spanish civil law or anything--but yeah, how long does something have to be "abandoned" before it's fair game?

Where is Mr. Khashoggi these days, anyway??
