In another one of those strange coincidences, rapper Ice Cube also sued Al-Rumaihi over not keeping up their deal on financing a pro-basketball league. Ice Cube’s business partner Jeff Kwatinetz, is also a friend of Steve Bannon.Firestarter wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2026 7:57 pmOn 26 May 2018, Elliott Broidy sued Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, accusing him of leaking his emails (that made the previous exposé by AP possible) to damage his reputation over his wheeling and dealing with the UAE (and the Saudis) and the Trump White House.
In May 2018, founders of the BIG3 basketball league, Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz, started a bizarre $1.2 billion lawsuit against 4 Qatari "investors". Qatari Ahmed al Rumaihi promised to invest $20.5 million in BIG3 but only paid $7.5 million (how this makes a claim of $1.2 billion is beyond my comprehension...). The defendants include sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Saud al Thani, as CEO of the Qatari Investment Authority (QIA).
Ice Cube is a legendary gangsta rapper, while Kwatinetz is a former business partner and friend of none other than the SCL Group's, Trump's, Bolsonaro's and Giorgia Meloni's spin doctor Steve Bannon.
Kenny Meiselas is a celebrity attorney, mainly for musicians. He is also a partner in the Robin Hood Foundation.
Kenny's 3 sons, Ben, Brett and Jordan Meiselas started MeidasTouch to get some Trump-hater donations and to trash Trump (or Republicans in general). Ironically the corrupt Meiselas brothers are using some of the same tactics they have trashed Trump over.
Kenny's son Ben Meiselas is a celebrity attorney like his father; his clients include Colin Kaepernick in his high-profile case.
Ben also represents Ice Cube’s and Jeff Kwatinetz's Big3 basketball league. So you have the Trump-trashing lawyer Ben Meiselas representing the BIG3 of Bannon's buddy!
The story of the lawsuit is that Al Rumaihi asked Kwatinetz to tell Bannon that the Qatari government would pay for his political activities.
Hard to believe, but Kwatinetz claims he was was "offended" and that neither he nor Bannon would take a bribe. According to the affidavit:
"Flynn" refers to Trump's short-term national security adviser Michael Flynn...Mr. Al-Rumaihi laughed, and then stated to me that I shouldn’t be naive, that so many Washington politicians take our money, and stated ‘do you think Flynn turned down our money?'
Even Michael Avenatti drops by, who on 13 May 2018 tweeted:
.Why was Ahmed Al-Rumaihi meeting with Michael Cohen and Michael Flynn in December 2016 and why did Mr. Al-Rumaihi later brag about bribing administration officials according to a sworn declaration filed in court?
On 12 December 2016, Al-Rumaihi escorted Qatari foreign minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani (if I understand correctly, Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani's son), in the presence of Michael Cohen, for a meeting with destined NSA Mike Flynn in the Trump Tower. Some claim that Al-Rumaihi’s visit was connected to the sale of the Russian firm Rosneft, which was closed on 10 December 2016.
See Al-Rumaihi, bald with beard, in an elevator with Trump's attorney Michael Cohen (another Chabad-Lubavitcher) at Trump Tower on 12 December 2016.

Cohen reportedly pitched a $1 million deal to Al-Rumaihi (in December 2016 head of Qatar Investments of QIA) that was declined.
