Will this Altria UST deal get done or is UST a perfect short opportunity here?

Would UST even take $10 billion? It's only a 25% premium over yesterday's closing price. And what about the DOJ, will there be any anti-trust issues here?

If this doesn't go through, seems like a great way to make a quick 25% --- thoughts?

MO issued 10B of bonds to acquire UST, so it looks like it is a done deal.
