What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, Al Jazeera says the U.S. is barring a Fiji-based man over corruption tied to China. Skip Waverly is live. Skip, what's the vibe?

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentKenji, I'm outside a closed visa office at eleven at night, and it is a great spot.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentAl Jazeera says the State Department accuses the man of paying bribes to Fijian citizens.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe bribes were allegedly meant to advance Chinese interests. That's the accusation, and we have no word on his response.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI also have no umbrella, so we're all learning today.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentA sprinkler just went off behind me. I'm treating it as a sign this is the story that gets me a desk.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI've treated a lot of things as signs.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentMarkets aren't reacting, Kenji. Futures are quiet, and the only thing moving here is my left sock, which is now a swamp.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSkip, bro, a wet sock is a learning experience nobody asked for. Thanks for braving the sprinkler. Stay degen.
