"12/ Valuation math (using real numbers): Market cap A$1722M at A$0.0240.03/sh (694M shares outstanding). Recent A$1.16M placement @ A$0.03 issued 38.8M shares to fund litigation & ops. Now assume a US$277$443M award (A$430690M) plausible given litigation claim size and haircut for legal/contingency costs. Even conservatively clearing US$200M net to equity is not unreasonable. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2011743702968860732 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2011743702968860732"

"Yes and noits a market. Many individuals and firms have waited years to be paid so taking 10-20% now versus waiting another [--] years for a potential 40-60% in a formal restructuring is a fair trade for those needing liquidity. It allows sellers to redeploy that capital immediately into reconstruction contracts and the post-crisis growth of the Venezuelan oil industry or other strategic areas. Frankly sellers might end up ahead by thriving in the growth trade today rather than waiting on a payout. Its always about opportunity costs. :) https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2014128835185213591"
