   Paying doesn't work if the seller doesn't want to acknowledge   
   payment. That's what's happening with Gazprom not acknowledging   
   the Neftgaz $1.5 B payment to their joint trading company   
   RosUkrNeft in Zurich, of which Gazprom owns 50%. So it's not   
   a case of not knowing of the payment.
