I contacted the USA email to learn more and explore a purchase. And they didn't respond, gave vague answers when they did, and immediately eroded all trust and credibility. Tremendously disappointing experience for a brand that seemingly is trying to offer a premium experience. Back to BMW, I go.
Adnan Khashoggi was an international arms dealer with connections to Epstein in the 80s. This video details Epstein's connect to Khashoggi, Iran Contra, Douglas Leese, and intelligence circles.

Adnan Khashoggi, prior to Iran Contra, was the top and main donor to American University in Washington DC, via his close friend, Richard Berendzen.
>Khashoggi, a friend of university President Richard Berendzen and a member of the school's board of trustees since 1983, donated $5 million toward the construction of the $14 million multi-use facility.
Richard Berendzen was forced to resign as President of AU, though remained as a professor. And told stories to his students about Khashoggi until his retirement.
>In March 1990, daycare owner Susan Allen received a phone call from a man claiming to be a gynecologist and inquiring about her sexual habits. She reported the call to her husband, a Fairfax County law enforcement officer, and continued to engage with the caller for several weeks while police monitored the communication via call tracing and tape recordings. Allen described the calls as "filthy beyond your most horrible nightmares."
>Police traced the calls to American University and Berendzen's private phone line. Among other things, Berendzen asked those he called whether they had sex with children, claimed he kept a 4-year-old sex slave in his basement, and made repeated references to child pornography and purchasing child sex slaves at auction. On April 7, the board of trustees confronted Berendzen, who resigned on April 8. He was admitted to Johns Hopkins, where he was treated with several therapies addressing his childhood abuse. On April 10, Berendzen issued a public statement citing "exhaustion" as the reason behind his decision to step down.
>Berendzen was charged with two misdemeanor counts of making indecent calls. He pleaded guilty to both, and his jail time was suspended on the condition that he continue receiving psychiatric treatment for the next year. Once the case became public, more than two dozen other daycare providers in the Fairfax area reported to police that they had also received obscene calls.
Richard Berendzen wrote a book about his rehabilitation and continued teaching students until 2006.
The connections to the Epstein/Khashoggi circle certainly cause new questions to arise regarding the content of Berendzen's confessions during his obscene phone calls.
