2008 Vanity Fair article paints him much like Epstein

Laura Biancolini began traveling on Khashoggi’s yacht, along with what is known in some circles as a bevy of lovelies, at the age of seventeen. She converted to Islam, changed her name to Lamia, and became Khashoggi’s second wife before giving birth to her only child and Adnan’s fifth son, Ali, now nine, in West Palm Beach, Florida. Marriage to a man like Adnan Khashoggi cannot have been easy for either of his wives. Women for hire were part and parcel of his everyday life, and he often sent girls as gifts to men with whom he was attempting to do business. “They lend beauty and fragrance to the surroundings,” he has been quoted as saying.

Everywhere, I heard people say, “If Khashoggi tells what he knows, there will be enormous embarrassment in Washington.” The reference was not to the charges pending against Khashoggi in the matter of Imelda and Ferdinand Marcos. It had to do with Iranscam. Roy Boston, a wealthy developer in Marbella and a great friend of Khashoggi’s, said, “I can’t imagine that the Americans really want him back in the United States. It would be a mistake. The president and the former president would be smeared. And the same with the King of Saudi Arabia. Adnan would never say one word against the king. But the Americans? Why should he keep quiet? If he really starts talking, good gracious me, there will be red faces around the world.”

Estranged Uncle to Dodi Fayed -- killed with Princess Diana

Eqyptian retail billionaire Mohammed-al Fayed is his brother-in-law -- the father of Dodi Fayed, who died in the suspicious crash with Princess Diana. Khashoggi was Dodi Fayed's uncle.

Sold Trump his insane yacht

Trump bought his yacht -- which was the largest in the world at one time -- but felt too guilty about it to use it much himself. Here he is talking about it on David Letterman in 1988:

DL: What are those guys like?

DT: [laughing] Real sweethearts; by nature not the nicest guys. He spent $200M to build this yacht. I have a mental problem using it personally, feel guilty about it to be honest. I use it for my hotels and for condo people that want to use it; it’s been fun; it’s been a great kind of investment; use it for charities.

DL: Discount?

DT: Million dollars off if I didn’t call it his daughter’s name the original name.

DL: It’s got a swimming pool, a pizza oven? It’s got just about everything; making me feel guilty about it.

The yacht had an operating suite and a morgue on board:

A story that Trump frequently tells is about his purchase of Khashoggi’s yacht, the 282-foot, $70 million Nabila, thought to be the most opulent private vessel afloat. In addition to the inevitable discotheque, with laser beams that projected Khashoggi’s face, the floating palace also had an operating room and a morgue, with coffins.

Went to Switzerland for rejuvenation injections, even though he knew it would lead to his arrest:

Ostensibly, his reason for visiting the city was to be treated by the eminent cellular therapist Dr. Augusto Gianoli with revitalization shots, whereby live cells taken from embryo of an unborn lamb are injected into the patient to ward off the aging process. Dr. Gianoli’s well-to-do patients often rest in the Schweizerhof after receiving the shots.

Used artwork to launder moneyfor Immelda Marcos

More than thirty paintings, valued at $200 million, that Imelda Marcos had allegedly purloined from the Metropolitan Museum of Manila, including works by Rubens, El Greco, Picasso, and Degas, were being stored by Khashoggi for the Marcoses, but it turned out that the pictures had been sold to Khashoggi as part of a cover-up. The art treasures were first hidden on his yacht and then moved to his penthouse in Cannes. The penthouse was raided by the French police in a search for the pictures in April 1987, but it is believed that Khashoggi had been tipped off. He turned over nine of the paintings to the police, claiming to have sold the others to a Panamanian company, but investigators believe that he sold the pictures back to himself. The rest of the loot is thought to be in Athens.

Church Committee investigated Khashoggi for corruption, receiving bribes from Northrup Grumman early in his career

1975 Diplomatic cable preceeding the hearing released by Wikileaks in 2013:

THERE SEEMS LITTLE DOUBT THAT THE DISCLOSURE BEFORE THE CHURCH COMMITTEE OF NORTHROP'S PAYMENTS TO KHASHOGGI, ALLEGEDLY FOR PAYMENT TO SAUDI AIR FORCE OFFICIALS, WILL HARM NORTHROP'S FUTURE IN SAUDI ARABIA AND POSSIBLY, AT LEAST TO SOME DEGREE, U.S.-SAUDI RELATIONS. THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE WILL DEPEND ON HOW MANY AND WHAT NAMES ARE MENTIONED.

Church Committee heard testimony about CIA heart-attack gun

• "Assassinations by induced heart attack and cancer" article Sott.net 2010
• Injection of MPTP causes rapid onset of Parkinsonism, which Khashoggi supposedly died of

MPTP itself is not toxic, and as a lipophilic compound can cross the blood–brain barrier. Once inside the brain, MPTP is metabolized into the toxic cation 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) by the enzyme MAO-B of glial cells. MPP+ kills primarily dopamine-producing neurons in a part of the brain called the pars compacta of the substantia nigra. MPP+ interferes with complex I of the electron transport chain, a component of mitochondrial metabolism, which leads to cell death and causes the buildup of free radicals, toxic molecules that contribute further to cell destruction.

Khashoggi's #1 man Bob Shaheen a CIA operative?

Shaheen was the youngest of nine brothers and sisters. His parents emigrated to the United States during the Great Depression. When he was three years old, his father died, leaving his mother, who could not speak, read, or write English, to care for the family of nine children. For his part, he began selling newspapers at a corner movie theater at the age of six. He earned a degree in Political Science from Mount Union College in 1955. After serving in the US Army as a Classification and Assignment Specialist, he began graduate studies at Georgetown University. Shaheen is known as a polyglot.[1] While at Georgetown, he was recruited[citation needed] by the United States government in 1960 to move to Saudi Arabia.[citation needed] After serving in that capacity[citation needed] for two years, and during that period, he met Khashoggi.

In 1962, he began working as a high-ranking official to Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian businessman.[2] Shaheen spent the next 25 years with Khashoggi, establishing close personal relationships with the Saudi royal family and other Middle Eastern leaders and businessmen. Shaheen was president of Khashoggi's Triad Corporation.[3] Khashoggi was commissioned by the late King Saud to help organize the Ministry of Defense protect their oil fields.

1952: Khashoggi goes from Chico State college kid to major deal broker at 21 -- How?

Mr. Khashoggi attended Victoria College in Alexandria, Egypt, a traditional training ground for the Middle Eastern elite, where pupils were caned for using any language other than English. Afterward, he enrolled at what was then Chico State College in California. Barely a year after arriving at Chico State, at 21, he brokered his first major deal, the sale of $3 million worth of trucks to Egypt. His commission was $150,000. He never returned for his college degree.
