If your scenario is correct, Ace, whoever at BP concocted this plan of getting the relief well started 2 weeks after the accident (knowing it would take 90 days to complete) -along with whoever in the government approved it - should be brought up on criminal negligence charges. That's the stupidest fucking plan I've ever of since it basically dooms the fishing and tourism industies during and after the spill. I find it impossible to believe that you honestly think that BP is going to knowingly have a plan in place that's going to open themselves up to billions of dollars in losses, millions in legal costs and years of court time. To drive their stock price down by 40%? If that's was really and truly the plan, as you seem to believe, then I hope that their Directors and Officers insurance premiums are paid because those insurance carriers are going to pay out whatever limits there are, regardless of what those limits are.
That's the only logical conclusion of your story, Ace. And it makes no sense at all.
