Wow, you've information nobody else in the world has, you'd sell it and make millions, that kind of information is really valuable, and I mean it.
Or,
in real world:
First of all, it's 12 billion
Second, it's the first time I hear Exxon is British
Third, they got a freeze of assets in British and Dutch markets, which is not even firm since Venezuela appealed in Le Havre court
Fourth, you're confusing the conflict between Ecuador and Chrevron in international courts over pollution and rainforest cleaning, which yes, it's 16 billions.
Fifth, even if they take those 16 billions (assuming you at least knew the real amount), it's the price for the nationalization of the Cerro Negro oil explotation in the Orinoco Belt. This way Venezuela gets EXACTLY the 41.66% of this explotation for, believe it or not, pennies. Let's just say for reference purposes it's 11.4% of US defense budget for 2008 alone, most of that budget went to Irak and the oil war. So US spent trillions to get the oil from Irak and Venezuel might be paying 12 billions for total control of one of the largest oil reservoirs in the world with the biggest reserve of heavy oil ever found. How stupid
But you're right, I don't have a clue about what am I talking about
