They have a long way to go to reach the low standard set by Lance Armstrong...
He was merely caught cheating while trying to win at competition... and, without validating it, you obviously do have to have some degree of respect for the quality of his effort and skill at cheating. And, even with the cheating, it's not like he didn't do any of the things required to win...
What you see here instead is an transparent and hamfisted effort in cheating that isn't capable of fooling anyone, that is being conducted after the fact, that is very obviously designed to lie about the company cheating, in order to mask their intentional conduct of an armed robbery...
It's more like Lance Armstrong (before being caught cheating) being mugged by street thugs who were intent on taking his medals, nothing more...
Moreover, you see armed robbery being conducted by thugs who are obviously stupid... having been caught red handed in the act, their only excuse is that they had to violate their contracts and violate their own law to steal the assets from the investors who owned them, and who funded development of them in good faith, because the local goatherders said they wanted them to ?
LOL!!!
Clearly, there was a motive for the robbery that has occurred... but, the local goatherders clearly weren't the reason for it, rather than a badly crafted ruse intended to enable and "justify" it...
As a matter of logic, it doesn't even matter if it was true that the company was overstating the value of the assets... because the value, whatever it is, is never a viable or justifiable motive for simple armed robbery.
The fact that argument is even being made while trying to use it in validating the fact of the theft perpetrated by thugs... is telling in itself...
They're not bothering denying they stole the assets...
They're simply quibbling, after the fact, that the things they stole really weren't worth all that much... and anyway, the guy they stole them from got them by cheating...
It's laughable.
Morales similarly hamfisted effort after the fact is only proving MORE that he's a low life, a liar, a cheat, a thug, and a common thief... and not more.
I don't think that means he doesn't have accomplices who were busy trying to talk him into it, etc.
And, the fact he's gladly made a mockery of the law in Bolivia to benefit himself, is another proof of the known fact that greed and self justifying cleptocracy rules there.
I don't think any of that alters any of what's likely to result when the case is heard in a court where the perpetrator doesn't subvert the law and make it be what he wants...
