No conspiracy & little conjecture required - deal gets done Low oil & Albanians playing tax hardball made for a perfect storm. The Chinese with deeper pockets, better positioned to play hardball were the port to escape that storm. Like most things in life, the deal ends up taking more time. Nothing illogical about that scenario. Oil is down a bit now, but still well up from when the deal was made. So Geo-Jade should be at least as motivated to complete the deal as they were when it was announced. IMHO the deal gets done, just not as soon as we would have liked. That was always & still is the most likely way for this to play out. -GLTA!
