Despite years of accusing Venezuela& #39;s elected gov& #39;t of corruption, Guaidó& #39;s US-based officials are poised to lose Citgo.
Members of VZLA& #39;s opposition tell me how @ignandez, @carlosvecchio, & @ricardo_hausman are running a "scam" against their country: #more-14256">https://thegrayzone.com/2019/09/03/the-citgo-conspiracy-opposition-figures-accuse-guaido-officials-of-scam-to-liquidate-venezuelas-most-prized-international-asset/ #more-14256">https://thegrayzone.com/2019/09/0...

In July, a US court ruled the mining firm Crystallex could seize $1.4b worth of Citgo& #39;s assets as compensation for $ owed by the Venezuelan gov
To win, Crystallex had to prove Citgo was an "alter ego" of the state (therefore taking $ from one is equal to taking $ from the other)

In 2017 Guaidó& #39;s future "attorney general"
@ignandez provided testimony supporting Crystallex& #39;s argument that Citgo was an "alter ego" of the Venezuelan gov
At the time Citgo was protected from such allegations bc Venezuela& #39;s gov did not manage the US-based company& #39;s daily ops

Citgo& #39;s legal defense was jeopardized earlier this year when Guaidó& #39;s National Assembly moved to directly appoint the boards of PdVSA *and* its subsidiaries (including Citgo)
Crystallex immediately noticed the error, highlighting it in an April court filing

As Guaidó& #39;s "attorney general," why did @ignandez allow the National Assembly to appoint Citgo& #39;s board, essentially proving Crystallex& #39;s alter ego case for them?
Why didn& #39;t he inform the National Assembly of is prior testimony in the case on Crystallex& #39;s behalf?

Since Crystallex won its suit against Citgo, @ignandez& #39;s previous role in the case has been exposed
He& #39;s now trying to cover for himself, first claiming he "recused" himself from the case in March
I explain why he appears to be lying in coming tweets... https://twitter.com/TVVnoticias/status/1156735765239324672">https://twitter.com/TVVnotici...

. @GrayzoneProject obtained @ignandez’s “recusal” letter circulated among Venezuela’s opposition.
Notice he doesn’t recuse himself from the case, only from “conversations” w Crystallex.
Most bizarrely, it is addressed to @carlosvecchio, not “President” @jguaido. Why is that?

On top of that, @ignandez doesn’t mention his prior testimony in yet another case against Citgo, that of Ohio glassmaker Owens-Illinois.
As with Crystallex, Hernandez testified in support of Owens-Illinois’ argument that PdVSA was an “alter ego” of the Venezuelan gov.

. @ignandez has since tried to claim that he DID NOT analyze the alter ego argument in the Crystallex case.
But for some reason Crystallex characterizes his testimony extremely differently.

. @ignandez also claims Owens-Illinois paid his law firm, not him, for his testimony in its case against the Venezuelan state.
But official court documents name ”José Ignacio Hernández” specifically as the recipient of $163,720 paid for his expert analysis. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Additionally, lawmaker @DipRonderos said he would support @ignandez if he can prove he properly submitted his recusal to the judge who oversaw the Crystallex case. Hernández has yet to accept the offer...
Still @carlosvecchio should be able to verify the authenticity of @ignandez’s recusal letter *if* he were keeping proper gov records. Why haven’t you don’t that, Carlos? And why did he send the recusal to you instead of “President” @jguaido? This is not legal gov procedure.
