Best Answer

This is a misspelling of "cui bono?" "cui bono?" means "to whose benefit?", literally, "as a benefit to whom?", a Latin double dative construction. It is a question that is asked when investigating a crime or misdeed. One way to identify a possible culprit is to ask whom the crime or misdeed benefited.
