“Investment” is a way to put it.

Shameful.
Seems a bit premature. Maduro is gone but nothing has fundamentally changed. His government is intact, just with a warning from Trump to follow orders “or else”.
I simply don't believe that there can exist even a tentative plan this soon after breaking news, when it's still not clear what the Venezuelan government will even look like in March. I can imagine a lot of reasons why the "chairman of consulting firm Signum Global Advisors" might want to create FOMO about it though!
Is the VEF going up again?
Even if it’s unfortunate, you must find a way to take advantage of every world event for investment opportunity, or you risk falling behind and ending up on the wrong side of inequality.
Seems like our leaders laundered our money through the US military and government apparatus, to the tunes of billions of dollars, so that they could carry out the dirty work of overthrowing the Venezuelan government in order to enrich Exxon and other oil companies. That's our money doing this. My money doing this. Boomers are cooked, man.
All of this is disgusting theft, and is plain old imperialist colonialism. Let’s not pretend there is even a shred of legitimacy to the claims about drugs or whatever - Trump recently pardoned a major drug lord. This is entirely about enriching Trump, his family, and friends. The people of Venezuela will still be left poor but will lose their natural resources.

Sounds like Yeltsin-era privatization is on the menu. “What assets can we strip from the Venezuelan people, for pennies on the dollar?”
