Rep. Waltz Warns Bill Gates: You May Get Hit With Counterterrorism Sanctions – By Hank Berrien (Daily Wire) / Oct 18, 2023
Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL), a former Green Beret, sent financial titan Bill Gates a letter warning him that he might be exposed to counterterrorism sanctions because he is a primary owner of the Four Seasons Hotel chain, which has reportedly housed Hamas terrorists.
Cascade Investments, an assets management firm Gates founded and owns, “reportedly acquired a 47.5 percent stake in Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts when that company went private. In 2021, that control was increased by the purchase of 23.75 percent of the company from Prince al-Waleed’s Kingdom Holding Company, which increased Cascade’s share to 71.25 percent, giving it majority control of the company,” Waltz noted.
In 2015, senior Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal reportedly held a press conference in the Four Seasons in Doha, Qatar. In 2016, Meshaal reportedly used the same hotel for a closed-door meeting with then-Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu.
