– This is like a fairy tale, Waleed himself said in an old interview more than a decade ago.
That’s what it was, from start to finish: a mere forge. Barely an adult, Waleed told how he had invented a friend Flemming Bordoyn with sunlight, and also electric light, a rechargeable cell phone battery. The buddies had supposedly gotten the idea for their vacation in Dubai. In reality, they had never even been to Dubai, and even the batteries were a mere lie. Waleed introduced the Chinese-made solar cell chargers it ordered from the online store.

Bieber’s tour was true, and it brought the singer to Finland in April 2013, but Waleed didn’t join it. He still managed to trick a million-dollar American investor into claiming that he had the rights to tour Scandinavia. Investor, Todd Weinberghowever, eventually began to suspect investment fraud and contacted the FBI in September 2012. When Bierber took the stage in Helsinki, Waleed had been in government in the United States for some time.
