I didn't say they "needed" to sell them. The PR that announced the potential sale was a company pump job. Info on the so called high value of similar leases was posted dozens of times (by you)trying to get people to believe they were like gold. 2) 2008 would have been a bust if the hadn't sold some assets and got lucky hedging oil. The chance of that happening again this year is slim. 3) This isn't a personal injury claim that takes years. Just a basic property claim.If they haven't been paid by now and haven't started litagation to try to recover then the bottom line is they ain't getting paid.imo
