It's amazing how quickly he went from billions of dollars to broke and a jail cell

Eike is in jail, or maybe even deceased by now. His fortune was literally financed by Petrobras (Brazil’s national petroleum consortium), and that in itself was illegal, as Petrobras is a Public company. Petrobras heads, stole money by diverting it into investments, the returns were basically “laundered money”

Eike wasn’t a violent criminal, he just made his fortune with illegal funds, and got busted, thus losing it ALL

Petrobras was busted financing political candidates (a no-no under Brazilian Laws), a detailed investigation into its books brought to light all the illegal funds diversion, amongst them, Eike’s companies…..and thus he became a casualty
