The guy who bought the Duster was living in the Gulf and became friends with the nephew of someone in the royal family of the country he was living in. The Bullshit Castle guys knew the buyer of the Duster and channeled money thru him to the royal family presumably in exchange for favorable treatment at the time of contract negotiation.

The Duster guy got a haircut for making the connection with which he bought the Duster and subsequently, an apparently crummy apartment somewhere.

But till now we don't know for sure if (and the article - confusing as it might be does state this) the Romanian guy's identity has been used without him knowing.

It could be a simple identity theft of some kind.
