You're right into pointing out that there is still a long way to go before ripping the benefits but where I disagree is that the company's past is a liability and should be forgotten. It should be put forward.

The management has proved itself in being able to successfully navigate this business in one of the shadiest zones of the world, not crack under the pressure of the first offer when it came time to come apart with Pase and, now, make a significant acquisition for, what seems, the good interest of the SHs.

It did (still does) costs dearly in time to the LT shareholders like you and I but that is the price to pay to have now this management that will be able to do business in a much less hostile environment. After everything that happened with Pase, it should be a breeze for them to make this company an outstanding success.
