There have been a number of references to Cyrstallex being more interested in stock market prices than in mining from various "news sources". They are for the most part worthless remarks intended to bash Capitalism and provide the uniformed some explanation.
Remember that VZ does not consider themselves responsable for any spoken or written statements, only to actions so you can pretty much say whatever you want to about anyone whether true or not.
They have to paint KRY badly even if they intend to grant a permit or a settlement. Otherwise someone might notice that they committed extortion by demanding and receiving bond money for the permit only to renig on it. I think that is one big factor in our case they can't deny.
