Blind Item #8

The head of this government ordered the very public killing of a journalist, so, it shouldn't come as a shock that he is ticked off about a very expensive purchase he made where he feels ripped off. The middleman who is embroiled in several lawsuits throughout the world about art ad money laundering is first on the hit list, but that Russian oligarch/sports team owner/world famous island owner who is the previous owner of what was purchased is also on the hit list.
