    Which company made a 300% profit on its purchase of PLUTO?

    Question #48156. Asked by gmackematix. (Jun 05 04 8:30 PM)

    		Well I have now read quite a bit about 'Pipeline Under The Ocean' aka 'Operation Pluto' and the part it played in history. Many companies were involved in building it, but for the life of me cannot find who purchased it at a large profit or when it was sold. Perhaps it is one of those cases of being unable to see it for looking at it.

    		Annoyingly, neither can I. All I can tell you is that whoever it was made such a profit because it was still full of oil when it was sold so I'm guessing it can't have been long after the War.
