i would think the liability would be limited to the assets owned by the bp usa company

that is why i would remove all assets from bp usa and let it go bankrupt - bp tried to do the right thing - the democrats won’t accept that - they want to kill the golden goose - if i were bp, i’d kill the goose and leave them with nothing

That assumes, though, that BP's board has an adversarial relationship with Barry.

FWIW, I think it would be very dangerous for shareholders to make that assumption.
