Well not a real gift, he would pay him under the table into his pocket a couple billion dollars, or like someone else here said he knows he’s dying soon so he figures he’ll take us all out with him, I’m hoping that’s the one and we could somehow stop him.

And of course, top secret operations allow nobody to discover if they are real or not.

Perfect cover.
