While on a diplomatic trip, Secretary of State John Kerry managed to check himself—and his entourage—into a hotel of a “blacklisted individual in Myanmar.” ABC News,
“The Lake Garden hotel, assigned to the US delegation when they stayed in the country last week for the ASEAN ministerial meeting, is owned by Zaw Zaw, a man whose company and personal accounts are subject to US financial sanctions over his connections with Myanmar’s former military regime. Kerry was traveling with five senior officials, and likely more staff as well, bringing the group’s minimum possible overnight expenses, for six of the hotel’s cheapest rooms, to just under $800, some of which may have ended up being pocketed by the blacklisted tycoon himself.”
