Part III: Burisma’s Top Men
Billionaire Mykola Zlochevsky’s board has some unusual directors

 By Tatiana Prophet

Before Hunter Biden, there were Joseph Cofer Black and Alan Apter. Black, currently a Burisma director and speaker at Burisma’s annual Energy Security Forum, is not a bean counter. For the CIA, he spent 20 years in Africa, and in 1994, he helped capture Carlos the Jackal in Khartoum, Sudan, according to a profile in The New York Times. Leading up to 9/11 saw Black in the top counterterrorism spot at the CIA. He was praised for predicting the event, and criticized for not having a better response plan. Black went to the State Department in 2002. As if that weren’t weird enough, he then went to military personnel contractor Blackwater from 2006 to 2008, and advised Mitt Romney in the 2008 campaign cycle.
