Is this just stupidity?

OK, so Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ phone got hacked, probably by Saudi Arabia. Then, when Bezos is told, on his phone, that it’s Saudi Arabia, he gets a message from the Saudi Crown Prince that it’s all lies.

Except … how did the Prince know that?

If you are wondering why Saudi Arabia might hack Bezos’ phone, note that Khashoggi worked for The Washington Post, owned by Bezos. Also, the timing matches so that this supposed hack could have been the source of whatever leak shortly afterwards caused Bezos’ marriage to fall apart, costing him 25% of his wealth.

Someone should teach those guys about spying. But, of course, I’d settle for someone teaching them about human rights.
