RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Nice drop to a ...Hopeful, just the first 3 claims total about $13 Billion. Crystallex, Tidewater, Conoco/Phillips.
The next 4 including Rusoro make the total maybe $16.5 Billion, with Rusoro last of the 7.
The total claims are about $21.3 Billion at last known tally.
There are discussions about using claim dollars to purchase (i.e. less, or no cash in the bid) with the winner responsible for paying other claimants from future pofits of Citgo. A lot of unknown outcomes.
Another possiblility could be to pro-rate the awards to the winning bid if it's less than the total of claims. I haven't seen any comment about this; it's just my speculation.
