Ban-agreed on your risk assessment on Congo. I base my optimism on a) $15 million is still has not been paid out, which means even the losing side gets quite of bit of money and b) there still another party to be sued for greater money. This means VUP would get even more money. I suspect multiple people are involved in VUP so there is a lot in-fighting and internal politics involved, which dont direcly involved RRR but certainly slow the process down. The people who got the $5 million probably should have shared that with about 10-15 other people who are know upset and looking for those people (who are probably hiding) Probable death threats etc AB has made this case very visible and makes a point of keeping the British Embassy informed.
BTW RRR has already achieved a positive outcome which can be used as the basis for litigation outside of the Congo
