And just for the record, I've just launched a new very ambitious endeavor in my career, and during the initial initial investment round, I had the option to take some Saudi funds.
Luckily, we secured enough funding through what I perceived to be reputable sources that it wasn't needed, but I was close to having to take meetings with Saudi Royal backed investors, and having to face the decision of what would my price be to go against my ethics for the sake of myself and all those people who are going to be working for me. I'm glad it didn't get to that point, because I think when someone is in the actual hot seat, the many layers and decisions that have to be made are a lot more complicated.
