Whether posters on this thread give a rodent's sphincter whether title and rights are different in my mind is irrelevant. In fact, whatever distinction I hold is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that title and rights are distinct in law, and that is of utmost relevance. A title-holder's rights can be extinguished or limited for a number of reasons--and that isn't something that is unique to Venezuela. I don't presume to speak for everyone, as you apparently do, but it is clear to me that several posters here recognize a difference between title and rights and understand that this is the crux of the matter. You and anyone else who so chooses can persist in believing otherwise but that will not make it so.
Your statement that even I admit that Mael/Crystallex holds title to LC 4 & 6 as ordered by the CSJ is a curious one. I am simply acknowledging a fact--one that would remain a fact quite irrespective of any claim or 'admission' I might make about it.
As to whether Asensio is 'fraudulent', again I have to withhold judgement. Does an unchallenged conviction or an article in the New York Times make it so? If so, does that hold for all cases? Would that be your judgement of 'Mesa1' who posts on Stockhouse? As I recall, 'Mesa1' has been heavily fined for unauthorized trading in a client's account and a number of other offences and has had his licence revoked. Is he 'fraudulent' simply because there is a public record that indicates this? If your answer is yes, I think a great number of people would disagree with you. If your answer is no, I have to wonder why it is that different standards are applied to shorts and longs.
In your previous post you invited comments from me. It seemed at the time that you had given some care to reading my posts and, under the apparently mistaken assumption that you were in fact interested in receiving such comments, I replied out of courtesy. I won't make the same mistake again.
