re: #245 Charles
You’re ignoring the fact that BP wasn’t forced into this. They chose to participate in the $20B escrow program voluntarily.
The commentator’s point was that they agreed voluntarily at the point of a gun, in response to the government’s request that came with a strongly implied “or else.”
And I’m not ignoring anything; I’m relaying what I heard. I thought I was clear about that, but perhaps not.
