    From wikipedia:

    "The considerable profits from the enterprise went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa; critics, however, claim that this money went directly to the (often military) governments of the affected countries rather than the people."

    So the chances are pretty good the money ended up in the Swiss bank accounts of African dictators.
