    Here’s the play: Trump forced embargos on Venezuela oil that made Venezuela-owned CITGO refineries designed to refine Venezuelan oil unprofitable. US Courts forced sale of CITGO assets, Singer swooped in and bought them for $5.9billion, a third of its $18billion value (oil refineries are very expensive to build). 2 months later, Trump attacks Venezuela, removes Maduro and Venezuelan oil is legal again. Presto! Instant profit in billions!!!

      You forgot when the court appointed man to oversee the sale was a high man in one of the « Israel charity » that Paul Singer give to

      But yeah that’s pretty it
