Someone says 5 bln bid so far.
Seems really low and makes no sense as the company has revenues of 2.5 bln

Because any potential bidder for Citgo knows there will probably be future litigation. The 2020 PDVSA bondholders, for example, will probably sue. That will be years of litigation and, perhaps, having to pay an amount equal to 50.5% of the value of Citgo if the bond holders win. I don't necessarily think they'll win but no bidder wants to deal with that time and those costs.

The latest news were about these bonds invalidity. (Otherwise although 50 % mght have been collateral, but the sum of bonds are only a few bn, I dont exactly know how many bn. 1-2 maybe .)
