Thats why I say "safe port" in the post.

How much is Ven oil worth, $45 a barrel? How many tankers is that to get to 5B?

At $45\Barrel, we would need Hugo to give us 111,111,111.1 Barrels of Oil as collateral for the $5 billion he owes us.

A modern Supertanker can carry 2,000,000 barrels of oil.

We would, therefore, need 55.55 supertankers filled to capacity for Hugo to satisfy our claim.

I think you are on to something there Hondo...but we should have Hugo throw in the tanker rental cost and storage fees.
