Who's to say he didn't arrange it in the first place?

Reminds me of the famous short story The Ransom of Red Chief by O. Henry, the master of the short story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ransom_of_Red_Chief

Will Bernie offer to swap himself (being the altruist he is) for the MIL and perhaps he can be disappeared?

Knowing Ecclestone, that sentence didn't need to be green.

The definition of mixed emotions: watching your MIL drive off a cliff in your new car.

Yep. That's pretty much the origin of all kidnap jokes.

I think Speeder was asking about the maintenance fee.

The result of a long-con by (Brazilian) Mrs. Ecclestone perhaps? It's probably the only way she'll ever seen any money, as I am sure she had to sign an iron-clad pre-nup.

Anyone here have a picture of the MIL. Knowing Bernie's taste in women, mom might be a GILF.

For $36M he could buy every LEO in South America and have them taken out. If the story is true, that is.
