Bernd Bergmair, who was the majority owner of MindGeek (which owns major porn sites, including Pornhub), has approached the US Treasury Department with an offer to buy the foreign business of the Russian oil and gas company Lukoil. This is reported by Reuters with reference to sources, reports UNN.
Austrian businessman Bernd Bergmair, former majority owner of an adult entertainment group including the Pornhub website, has approached the US Treasury Department about buying the international assets of Russian oil giant Lukoil.
It is reported that sanctions forced Lukoil to announce the sale of foreign assets, and several buyers have approached US authorities for permission to negotiate with Lukoil, including oil giants Exxon Mobil and Chevron.
"Obviously, Lukoil International GmbH would be a great investment, and anyone would be lucky to have the privilege of owning these assets. I certainly don't comment on potential investments,"
