Per FT story, after 6 months of the US control of their assets more than 13 billion has been made off the oil. So why is VZ not showing more signs of the recovery? Because per the story, most of the money is "missing" and nobody, not even the GOP knows what Trump has actually done with it
T Exclusive: The Trump administration has collected more than $13bn in revenues from Venezuelan oil sales this year, according to FT calculations, but has said almost nothing about what has happened to the money. Washington has given diverging accounts of what it is doing with the funds, and US lawmakers from both parties are starting to pressure the administration to explain where the money has gone and what it is doing to prevent corruption around its allocation.
