(12,583 posts)To that end, the Democratic nominee is Jim Justice, who is the billionaire owner of the Greenbrier Resort the place of presidents and the summer home of the New Orleans Saints. Hes also the owner of coal mines he sold to the Russians five years ago for nearly $600 million but which he has recently bought back for $5 million. Coal prices were $300 a ton in 2011 and the benchmark is $92 a ton now, which is obviously a reflection of a lower demand for coal both nationally and worldwide.
Lets recap: Justice sold his coal mines to Russia for nearly $600 million and bought them back for only $5 million. Hes clearly indebted to Russia. If you dont see this, then we have a bridge wed like to sell you.
