Aipac donor on cusp of reaping billions from US abduction of Maduro

A major donor to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Paul Singer, could potentially reap billions of dollars following the US abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Singer's investment firm, Elliot Investment Management, has a low-ball offer to purchase Venezuelan-owned Citgo refineries in the US, a deal that could be finalized with a new, pliant government in Caracas. The sale of Citgo, owned by Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA, would go towards paying off some of the country's massive debt, which hedge funds purchased cheaply after US sanctions were imposed. The event underscores the connection between influential political donors, US foreign policy, and the financial interests benefiting from the intervention in Venezuela.
