Excellent point... why create an ecological disaster, have the whole world hate you and your share prices plunge just to get to be able to drill a couple of more wells?
This motive was NOT greed and BP is NOT the sole culprit but merely being used by higher ups... my personal view is that the higher ups are based out of the sovereign City of London and the Royal family

"...are talking that something or someone was at the bop and either deliberately caused the blowout or made a grave error that caused the bop to malfunction when the inevitable blowout happened. "
Wut?!?! This sentence right here speaks VOLUMES as to how little this guy's knowledge of drilling operations is.

It feels as if the US Gov. is set to take major action against BP. Not just funds for accounts etc. it sounds like they are set to sieze physical BP assests (Ships etc.). It all has a flavor of a profit ploy taken to far and now the law is catching up to the culprits.
The points of the email that stick out to me are
-The well was not profitable (can this be verified?)
-The two new wells will recoup losses in a year (anyone care to speculate?)
-There was manmade seismic activity at the well days before the blowout. (can this be verified?)
-Both seismic experts are "missing" (sounds like something we could verify)
I should imagine that if true there are still some lies layered into this message so the originator can just say "see it was a joke."
I also have to wonder if there was some larger instabilites in the region that were uncovered since this all happened, afterall a very large body from space did crash into the region several million years ago. Perhaps we about to see a "sinkhole" of some sort?
