"...Both Crystallex and Gold Reserve are now vowing to defend their interests through the Venezuelan and international legal systems. If that’s the route eventually followed, it will be a long and complex process that could effectively “sterilise” both potential mines for years."

Does KRY have the money to last through a protracted legal fight...or could Hugo intend to simply strangle them slowly over time by engaging them in court ad nauseum? When KRY is dead...Rusoro could then come in to pick up the pieces. Who will cough up financing for a legal battle that could go on for years? Positive thoughts and legal insight welcome.
