"For too long Venezuela has refused to compensate Crystallex for its illegal confiscation of Crystallex assets," said Bob Fung, CEO of Crystallex, in an email statement. He added that the court ruling was a "crucial step to get Venezuela to finally comply with its legal obligations."

It appears Fung is using the threat of auctioning Citgo as leverage to get the remaining cash right now. Best for both.

I think if Trump wants to go so far as sticking his nose in this business to block the auction and save Citgo for Vz he should put up the money.
