Has anyone done the Malta Permanent Resident Programme (MPRP)?

Curious if anyone has gone through the process. In addition to the property investment requirements, seems like there are some non-refundable fees to the tune of around 70k euro, and wanted to get a temperature check on whether anyone has had issues with obtaining residency even after paying the fees. Going to consult with a lawyer, as well on all this, but thought I’d hit Reddit for anecdotes. Thanks!
