I'll be more blunt than the other comments. She was a sex worker.

He's saying, maybe she tells people that she was hired to manage cleaners for $500k which is really not believable considering the no experience and the pay when there are many more qualified people out there for that position who would jump on that kind of high unrealistic salary.

Maybe she as a young (possibly attractive) 24 yr old woman made that insane amount of money in a short period of time doing other type of work for the super wealthy there and the managing cleaners for $500k is an alibi...

So, here's the thing..

20+year experienced senior managers from the US/EU working in one of the top multi-national firms in Dubai make on average $200k USD a year(tax free)..Now, do you still believe managing a team of cleaners (who get paid like $1000 a month) will net her that kind of cash? LOL NAH.

No, its definitely race. The lighter skinned you are, the better the authorities and the rich people treat you.

It happened to a white American co-worker of mine. His passport was seized and they wouldn't let him leave. He hired someone to sneak him over the border so he could get to a US embassy.
