My read is that Citgo will never be auctioed off. Remember Russia had 49% stake in this company. But what it does do is provide leverage for Crystallex to get the remaining award up front in full and in cash. There must be a time stamped. 3 months?

The asset is too important to Vz to give up. It's the only lane to USD.

Wtith this recent court decision his may be over soon, hopefully.
