I was reading about this the other day on Wikipedia.
IIRC, he also used this to locate his two estranged daughters, who were on a boat belonging to the Indian government, and sent helicopters filled with UAE special forces in full battle rattle to kidnap/abduct them.
Definitely living in an age where being estranged from somebody rich and powerful is something you very much do not want to be.

spent my controversial post-ability karma a little too quickly I guess...)
- shkkmo 5y agoI'm not sure why people downvoted this comment until it was killed, perhaps because it is making a pretty significant claim without any citations. Since other people have cited sources to back this claim up, I've gone ahead and vouched and upvoted it.

- speedybird 5y agoThey'd track her friends instead. She'd need to live like an isolated hermit and avoid contact with anybody who carried a phone, which is everybody. Short of hermitage; at the very least she'd need to adopt a new identity and ghost everybody she ever knew for the rest of her life. Not an easy task; I've heard that most people placed in witness protection have a very difficult time never contacting any of their old friends or relatives again.
