Doesn't seem probable, yet possible: Is VZ, themselves, going to buy us out?

Chavez said that the loan comes
from "different institutions and countries," which discusses the possibility of
paying in part with mine production arising due to credit.

..you know...lever what you don't have out of something you do have, then pay it all back out of what you futurily make in the deal PLUS have extra to cut in a "new" partner (russ) and enjoy claiming the EXTRA profits when(if) gold goes ballistic. What he does have is VZ's share of Las Christinas...and surely he can, if he chooses, lever it to buy out KRY's share...and then...VOILA...he has ALL THE MARBLES in his hands with only a "new" loan repayment to concern himself with, coming due at a time when the collateral is projected to be worth many times its present value. Getting Fung to take a stink bid and getting his VZ share levered into new loans has maybe been the grand delay in this marble game?
