In the documentary many staff reported that there was a small hidden room with monitors fed from cameras all throughout the townhouse. Bedrooms, bathrooms, everywhere. Guaranteed the island was wired too. He had mega dirt on the world’s rich and powerful. Where’s all the video???

Build a Dream – Build a Dream empowers female students to explore under-represented careers and promotes gender balance in the workforce.
