You might've heard that John Textor, a multi-club-owning billionaire, bought Botafogo in Brazil and activated pay-to-win mode.

Only a couple of months ago Botafogo won both the Brazilian league (after the famous mishap of 2023) and the continental title.
Textor has now grabbed all the money from competition prizes and the sales of his now highly-valued players, snatched it from the club (~55 million dollars) and used it to pay the debts of his French club Lyon, which was about to be relegated for financial wrongdoing by the French authorities.

What is interesting is that only 40 million of that money went towards paying the debts (total about €170 million) and the other 15 million euros or so went… whither?
