The US government has taken $11 billion of Venezuela's oil revenue since January. Only $3.5 billion has gone to Venezuela. $7.5 billion is unaccounted for.

Good summary of the imperial pillage here:
The US took Venezuela's "primary revenue stream at gunpoint, routed it through a bank in Qatar, then a Citibank account, handed the sales to two Swiss traders with federal bribery cases, put the Pentagon in business with a man the Justice Department once named in a $1.2 billion PDVSA laundering case, and declared the whole thing immune from American courts by decree".
