Comment on How Did the C.I.A. Lose a Nuclear Device? A plutonium-packed generator disappeared on one of the world’s highest mountains in a covert mission that the U.S. will not talk about.

Could be incompetence, could be they sold the thing and lied about it lol
Why would they do that when they could be dosing elephants with LSD?
For the money?
I expect that it is remarkably difficult to sell a radioisotope thermal generator and get paid anything meaningful and not get caught or ratted out by the folks with you
I bet your success odds go up drastically if you’re in the CIA and have contacts with government officials globally though
Not hard to make sure the only people with you are in on it and/or kill anyone who isn’t
