Here is an email I sent to Natalie Garcia:
Natalie,
Do you really expect the rest of the world is that naive as to believe such a poorly orchestrated, fraudulent story. You must realize by now that Venezuela is a cesspool for your slimy politicians who specialize in corruption at the highest levels. You must, you live it everyday. That being the case, why wouldn't you as a professional journalist, check the supposed evidense for authenticity. Chemicals like cyanide should be labelled with traceable identification so you can check who actually purchased the material. If it's not traceable that is suspicious to begin with.
Do you think the executives of GRZ wouldn't have had these pieces of equipment destroyed or moved if they were envolved in illegal gold production. Especially if it was going to in anyway jeopardize their ICSID arbitration case negatively. I'm sure you realize that Venezuela is ranked as the 158th. worst country in the world for corruption, while Canada is the 9th best. Who would you believe???
I'm sure the everyday citizens of Venezuela do not want to be labelled in this manner, but if you allow this type of obvious abuse with articles like yours that support this type of poorly thought out deception, you will surely move to the most corrupt nation in the world. You really don't have a very long journey to reach that pinnacle. You are in the company of countries such as:

It doesn't look like it will be long before you battling Somalia for last place. By printing articles of dubious purpose, you alienate investors and businesses who want to help develop Venezuela into a more respectable place to do business in the eyes of the rest of the world. Venezuela can't survive without foreign investment and this is no way to help attract it.
I suggest you do some follow up on this story with some truthful investigative journalism and get to the bottom of this poorly constructed story, because nobody will fall for garbage like that.......especially the ICSID arbitration judges.
Kindest Regards,
Paul.
