When Muammar Gaddafi was on the ropes, an eclectic group of Americans saw a business opportunity, offering to lobby for the Libyan ruler and help arrange his exit in exchange for $10 million, the New York Times reported Friday. A Washington terrorism expert, a former CIA officer, a Republican operative, and a Kansas City lawyer promised to help get access to billions of dollars in frozen Libyan assets by helping Gaddafi comply with United Nations resolutions.

Gaddafi was killed before the Treasury could grant the license needed for the consultants to accept payment from Libya.
