How the heck could a church (The Russian Orthodox Church received 5 million barrels) receive 5 million barrels of oil? Does someone receive it for them then sell it? I don't get it.... yet anyway. I'm sure some FReeper will know....

As I post this, several days after your question, and with hundreds of posts up, I see no responses listed under your replies. I'm sure someone besides me must have spotted this, and maybe they replied, but I don't see it.

The article states in part:

Fifth, the voucher recipients sold the vouchers to oil traders, who then collected the oil against the vouchers from the Kirkuk-Banias (Syria) pipeline terminal, which was operating in contravention of the Security Council sanctions. The pipeline carried 200,000 barrels per day of Iraqi oil, which benefited Syria greatly.

Somebody replied about a middleman type scheme, which is what I thought since it would be kind of tough to keep that much in the basement of even a church.... :-)
