Shell is pushed to explain its role in $1.1bn Nigerian corruption scandal
The British-Dutch group paid a huge fee to develop an offshore oil block. Wherever the money ended up, the loser is Nigeria
https:// www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/shell-nigeria-oil-payment-corruption-scandal
Of particular concern to Shell, the author provides first-hand insight into Shell’s security and intelligence activities in Nigeria, Iraq, Iran, Ireland and other global hot spots and details how Shell worked with US, UK and Dutch Intelligence and military agencies to further their mutual agendas. The author also discusses Shell’s secret communications with MEND militants in Nigeria through intermediaries.
In addition to the undeniably intriguing revelations in CRUDE INTENTION, the author interweaves the stories of average people, both employees and those in local communities, who have been impacted by the events he covers, as well as the very private and personal toll taken on himself. These are the often unheard voices and victims who never make it into the “numbers” oil companies discuss in their annual reports.
Based on actual events, Crude Intention offers first-hand insight into the depths of the links between oil and government and exposing secret strategies, conversations and communications involved in some of the largest oil deals in the last two decades. The book exposes how Intelligence Agencies (including the CIA and MI-6) and the Military are used to advance the interests of Oil Companies (and thus the National Interests of the Government).
Crude Intention tells true stories of murder, cover-ups and set-ups, organized crime, human trafficking, child pornography, underage-mistresses of oil executives, corruption & pay-offs of government officials, and unprecedented access behind the scenes of kidnappings, hijacking of tankers by pirates, and acts of terrorism against oil facilities and workers.

How Did The BitConnect Pyramid Collapse?

amid Collapse?
Posted on January 18, 2018 by Crypto the Lionheart
On Wednesday January 18th, the crypto market had one of the worst plunges in months, with over $300 billion leaving the market. At the time of this article, the Bitcoin price has since recovered, with the average price being just over $12,000. If you want to know my opinion on why this mass selloff happened, you can check out my most recent article on why Bitcoin fell under $10k. Something else very interesting happened as well; The BitConnect exchange finally went insolvent and collapsed under its own weight. This sent a wave of memes and ruined lives across the internet, and BitConnect issued a statement on why they shut their “lending program” down.
What happened to BitConnect?
During the mass selloff yesterday, the value of the BitConnect token fell from around $360 to only $8. The price has since recovered, with each token trading at around $45, and there is a big reason the price fell by over 90%. The lending platform/exchange decided to release all of their tokens at once while simultaneously suspending their lending program. Hundreds of thousands of people now have completely useless tokens, and the sell orders started to pile up on the few exchanges who supported the BCC token. People who invested too much money in the platform were left completely shocked as their investment collapsed.
Why did BitConnect do this?
This type of behavior would fit the criteria for being considered an exit scam. I am not going to explain in depth why I think BitConnect is a classic pyramid scheme, but you can read my other article on BitConnect to find out the details. The website released a statement on why it decided to suspend its lending platform;
The reason for halt of lending and exchange platform has many reasons as follow:
•The continuous bad press has made community members uneasy and created a lack of confidence in the platform.
•We have received two Cease and Desist letters, one from the Texas State Securities Board, and one from the North Carolina Secretary of State Securities Division. These actions have become a hindrance for the legal continuation of the platform.
•Outside forces have performed DDos attacks on platform several times and have made it clear that these will continue. These interruptions in service have made the platform unstable and have created more panic inside the community.
