Trump Administration Plans to Deposit Money from Seized Venezuelan Oil in Offshore Accounts

This detail of offshore accounts for USD proceeds of Venezuelan oil is very interesting.
The prototype was the secret Al Yamamah account at the Bank of England for BP and Shell proceeds of Saudi oil sales in the 1980s and 1990s. The account was a slush fund for corruption, bribes, terrorism finance, coups, assassinations, and black market arms dealing.
The Al Yamamah account was proposed to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher by Vice President George HW Bush as the price of US bailouts of BAE, Rolls Royce, and other British weapons companies on the brink of financial collapse. The US Congress had banned CIA black ops, coups, and assassinations, so Bush (former Director CIA and long head of black ops) proposed UK front a work around.
The account was off the budgets and balance sheets of Saudi, UK, and US, so not subject to any legislative reporting, review, or audit.
The only investigation in 2009 was closed down preemptively by Tony Blair.
Al Yamamah remains a toxic cess pit of officially facilitated evil too dark for journalist or official exploration.
