[QUOTE=bisousbisous;42535570]Why would a company already worth billions try to weasel their way out of a measly 25 bil? So fucking greedy.[/QUOTE] A business' primary concern is making money.

"...the directors and officers of a corporation shall exercise their powers and discharge their duties with a view to the interests of the corporation and of the shareholders...." "People who run corporations have a legal duty to shareholders, and that duty is to make money." They are literally encouraged by the shit wording of the law to do the scummiest things possible
