So it’s not just Nigeria anymore...
Well, I think that this is a little different than Nigeria. The oil is being stolen by the Zetas and sold to refineries in South Texas, reportedly. I have a whole lot of questions about the idea of them loading crude and sending it to refineries. It sounds more like refined product that is being smuggled across the border and purchased by a few men who act as middlemen for the companies. The only company that I recognized was BASF. The article said that BASF had no idea that the oil or product had been bought on the Black market.
