    Despite much information on the internet Bendelladj did not get sentenced to death, and claims saying he donated any money to charity are almost impossible to verify. Trial documents did not mention any donations or charity activities, making the claim of charity disputed and not known for sure.

    Is there any proof of the charity claims? Because Wikipedia gives nothing

      Homeboy probably spent .000001% of the money on PR, bought a shitton of bitcoin with the rest, go to jail a few years, buy an island when he gets out, maybe Trump will be willing to sell Greenland to him at that point who knows

        That article doesn’t cite anything either, only that “some sources say” he donated some of the money. A far cry from the claim that he donated all of the stolen $4b.

            Oh my God, could there be alternatives somewhere between the US and radical Islamists? 😱

          not a credible source

          So like the New York Times?
