Business people like Mr. Fung avoid people like Chavez at all cost, experience has taught that uncertainty, inability to be forthright, honest and open are all red flags not only in business but also in life. Fung was drawn into this play befor Chavez was a known character in this saga and the company had a operated in Ven. with very good relations with the government of the time. I'm sure that if we could put this story into a time machine and go back into history. Mr. Fung would avoid Ven. and Chavez at all cost.
