It's even better: he typed the fake invoice up in his bedroom while the FBI was in his house, after explicitly asking the FBI not to follow him in there. I can picture the agents looking at each other trying not to burst out laughing.
And why would the FBI assume he was typing the invoice? If you ask me for certain documents I actually possess, depending on the document I might be gone 10 to 15 minutes as well, or even outright say that I need to find it first, I'll bring it to <X>.
Not necessary, which is obvious from the agents agreeing to this request. But maybe a good way to forestall concerns like "what if they think I'm forging the document right now?"
You underestimate the power of stupidity of these people.
> Many Twitter users live in Saudi Arabia and some users of Saudi nationality or descent live outside of Saudi Arabia, including in the United States.
It's kind of surreal to use "Saudi" as the demonym for the people of Arabia. "Arab" would be normal. The language is Arabic, the country is Arabia, and those are both named after the people, the Arabs. The "Saudi" in the name of the country refers to the royal house, the House of Saud, and I would expect a "person of Saudi descent" to be Arabic royalty, not just any old Arab.
Huh? They use it as a name for "people from Saudi Arabia" and it's a very common use.
"some users of Saudi nationality or descent live outside of Saudi Arabia" --> people who are SA nationals/origin and live outside the country.

Saudi != Arab. If anything, Arab is a superset (and Saudis, if we talk about the nation state and not the ethnicity, are not all Arabs).
But the main point, is that the name Saud is commonly used for the nationals of Saudi Arabia, not just the royals.
Wikipedia: Saudis or Saudi Arabians are a nation composed mainly of Arab ethnic groups who are native to the Arabian Peninsula and live in the five historical Regions: Najd, Al-Hijaz, Asir, Tihama and Al-Ahsa;
And Arab refers to people from Morocco to Iraq so it’s equally unsuitable.
(It is a joke, laugh).
Canadians might still not be pleased about 'North American'.
It's actually a very charged topic in Latin America, as many latinos feel that the word they use to describe themselves has been stolen.

According to one of the suspects' LinkedIn, he left Twitter in 2015, and then worked at Amazon for 3 years in marketing and social media. While I have little doubt Amazon's internal auditing and access control are better than Twitter's, it'd be nice to hear confirmation from Amazon that he didn't access any private user data.
