Good question. That should have been in the article.

Maybe a specific fund, maybe private equity yada-yada?

Ships and sold from Amazon or 3rd party seller? Gotta check the seller rating and make sure they're legit.

Panama government can be bought off. Always has been. The canal is a vehicle for graft and money laundering.

Of course

My point is the canal provides more opportunities. Without the canal what can Panama barter with. I suppose fruit. Do they grow fruit in Panama? I must be thinking of Nicaragua

They arent buying the whole canal.
Just two ports on either side of it.
