” And so Lolo had made his peace with power, learned the wisdom of forgetting; just as his brother-in-law had done, making millions as a high official in the national oil company;”
And Lo Lo had a M-I=L who was in banking and wife that made small loans throught the Ford Foundation..who could help him hide money out of the country.
At the time of the divorce SADOS may have known how to get hold of the money since she opened the accounts...and Lolo got left holding the bag. He wanted to remarry, she keeps the dough.
Perhaps. And it, perhaps, may explain the timing of why the 10-year-old child was sent back to HI for a very expensive education — education obviously being an important priority to the child’s mother, who was registered in courses within weeks of his birth (and Indonesia having one of the worst ed systems in the world at the time).
Let’s not forget that the half-sister also attended Punahou — quite an expense for a bank VP without a college degree, living in one of the highest cost-of-living states in the Union, with a husband who, well, didn’t quite make much of a living...but we should believe that, miraculously, both of these children received scholarships to Punahou, and then he to Occidental..how idyllic.
