Claudia Rosett- Normally they take a 5-10% cut , looks like somebody got greedy at 30%

"The product of this leadership is that Congo, while one of Africa's richest nations in oil, is home to some of the world's poorest people. By some estimates Congo exports about $4 billion a year in oil. Given that the country's population is a mere 3.8 million, that would amount to more than $1,000 a year for every man, woman and child in Congo. Yet even taking into account other industries, services and labor in Congo, World Bank statistics show annual per capita income in Congo totaling less than $700. Life expectancy is 48 years. Transparency International rates Congo as one of the world's most corrupt nations, worse than Albania or Sierra Leone. And, on a per capita basis, Congo is one of the most heavily indebted countries in the world."
