As ProPublica previously reported, in 2019, Thomas flew to Indonesia on Crow’s private jet for an extended island cruise on Crow’s superyacht. If Thomas had chartered the plane and the yacht himself, it could have cost more than half a million dollars.

…

Thomas received undisclosed vacations from Crow and other wealthy benefactors virtually every year for more than two decades.

There’s no way he could afford to pay back all that value without taking a lot more bribes gifts.
