Stripe Theory has signed on to provide consulting services to the Royal Hashemite Court regarding potential defamation suits concerning articles about Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
The 59-year-old monarch was among movers and shakers featured in the “Pandora Papers” project that was conducted by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
It alleged that the King secretly owned luxury homes in the UK and US worth more than $100M.
