The opposition was prepared to pay us to stop the auction but couldn't because of the election. Judge Stark stated that KRY needed to be paid. Our lein was prior to sactions for not affected by OFAC. Basically, the Treasury will not interefear with selling Citgo shares to pay us even if they want to leave Citgo in VZ hands. This would force a cash settlement from the opposition to settle our claim then they can put the rest of the claims into settlement talks.

The nuts and bolts take too long to lay out but bottom line is KRY will get paid and that money will be held by Silversteins court. She will have final sign off on distribution.
