“You would get a bag of stones and you can sell them for dollars, or you can take them with you,” said Gary Busch, who was an acquaintance and competitor of Bout in Africa. “That is how you got paid, and Viktor Bout flew many flights for Savimbi.”

Among all the deals that Bout cinched in Africa in the 1990s, none loomed as outlandish as the rapacious proposal that Bout unveiled to Ibrahim Bah and Mosquito Bockarie at his Monrovia villa in November 1999.

Bout’s proposition was simple and astonishing: he would supply the RUF with badly needed weapons and ammunition at no cost if the rebels used the arms for a specific military mission that would benefit the Russian and his partners. Bout wanted the rebels to launch an attack across the border into southwestern Sierra Leone and take over a group of abandoned mines.
