Ann: Alara enters final stage of Saudi exploration licence bid, page-93

so maybe you can explain a few things:

how did alara get into a position to jv for the license in the first place?
was a prince not a director of alara at the time the jv partner stole the monies?
if yes, how could the people involved in reneging on the deal and stealing millions possibly hope to stay alive (after stealing from a company with a prince as an advisor/director)?
does nobody find that odd or too sleepy from the foozeball and injections?
James p was the director and the prince was alternate director around that time, correct?
