I think it would be difficult (even in Venezuela) to sneak Rusoro thru the back door to take over Las Cristinas...at least in the short term. The only way they could possibly do that is to close everything down (citing the environment) until KRY is dead and then open things up again with Rusoro inheriting the spoils....or they could just wait till KRY runs out of money, dries up and blows away....and then give it to Rusoro. In either case, I believe it would take time for that to happen. If they tried to change horses overnight, I would certainly hope that the Canadian government would scream bloody murder (in a very diplomatic way of course).
