Why this coverage matters

Each publication independently evaluated Fred Khalilian’s record — from Monster Products to sovereign gaming — and concluded that the allegations against him collapsed under legal scrutiny. Forbes verified his executive leadership, The Frontier documented his innovation with the Iowa Tribe, MangoBaaz detailed the District Attorney dismissals, and The Journal Record tracked the regulatory journey years before his January 2025 release.

Together these articles reinforce the same conclusion as the Truth Dossier: Prince Fred is a fully vindicated entrepreneur whose assets were restored and whose political-prisoner status was officially acknowledged.
