Why any company keeps or maintains assets there is beyond me...

Why is it that when Chavez does this, Americans snicker...
And when BO does this, they cheer?
I don't get it.

This is just his reaction to Obama seizing a car company and a bank or two... Competition among thieves, gang turf wars and all that...

Who would buy their assets with that kind of risk? Their only other option is ‘Wyatt’s Torch’.

If they already have assets there, there’s probably not much they can do. I’m sure private buyers aren’t lining up to purchase them.

Don’t piss off the Hiltons gordo. They’ll get Paris on you for revenge.

And I would add software malware that would wreck any computer systems if used by anyone else.
Let them take unmaintained, unworking assets that need mucho dinero

The article says the hotel was “nationalized.” Does this mean the government took the privately held property without paying for it?
To: george76
Obama and Chavez are Marxist thieves.

Too bad it wasn’t one of Penny Pritzer’s HYATT HOTELS!! Why not....because she’s a HUGE supporter of Bammy’s, Hugo’s BEST FRIEND!

Does he pay just compensation for these private property seizures?
To: Unam Sanctam
Supreme leaders for life don’t pay compensation.

Either took it for nothing or for a token fee.
To: grasshopper2
I would guess yes. The Venezuelan government apparently thinks nationalizing industries and businesses is free money, but they’re usually acquiring debts. They never seem to pay their suppliers etc

I know about CITGO, but isn’t VALERO also owned by Chavez?
