I don’t care how the uranium left the country, or by whom, or the trucks or planes. I want to know how much the Russians paid for the uranium and where THAT money went. I’ve heard it is billions. So was it received like any other “revenue” and documented by Treasury? Or was it laundered and skimmed by all the players? Follow the money.
Russians bought US uranium rights from Canadian and American mining companies. That part seems straightforward. Uranium wasn’t purchased from the US government by Russians.
The Russians needed permission from the US government to purchase from American companies because uranium is a strategic resource. That’s where the bribes to government officials come in.
It went to Canadian investors.
