Payoffs to buyers are common in b2b arrangements. Smells like it. The other possibility is that the Pd was being supplied from Stillwater as an extra, on top of PGM's normally acquire from SA, etc.. If the other supplier, who is probably hurting saw them move to acquire most of their PD from Stillwater they might hurt them in other areas like rhodium and pt. So they may have demanded buy so much Pd from us or else we jack the Pt. This makes sense and would have cut off Still's water. EC<:-}
