You are correct, yet those 5K and 10K disappearing as we speak (we all were taken by "surprise'). Maybe other, higher properties, went up, too.

Yup, my loss is valued at least $1.2K just because of this sneaky way Hilton did the devaluation.

Same applies to Turkey and Egypt, yet those countries have 5K properties as of now. Even more so, devaluing properties in Russia doesn`t make any sense whatsoever. I doubt they will go back to 5K after FIFA 2018.
