The only scenario that fits...Its becoming clearer now that Rio and GOM are putting on a show, with the explicit aim of bringing TRQ to its knees. Every single rns is carefully engineered to disappoint, sow confusion and promote despair. Think about it. TRQ shareholders have come out of this situation far worse than any other party. Anyone here who thinks that is an accident needs to wake up, smell the s**t and start laying some pressure on Rio itself. I can perectly well imagine all kinds of shenanigans and backhanders going on between GOM and Rio - the cheaper RIo gets its dirty hands on TRQ, the more money to bribe corrupt officials. This is my opinion of course, but it seems to me the only plausible reason for the status quo. Rio's behaviour is a disgrace, as usual.
