Bear - Thinking out loud - our litigous culture

by "John Galt" <whoisjohngalt@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 17, 2008 at 03:22 PM

So, we know today that JPMorgan has offered to acquire BS for $2 per share.

That is (round numbers, here) about $250M dollars, so I assume there's
about 
125M outstanding shares.

(I think we can safely say that there aren't any BS shareholders who feel 
"bailed out.")

At any rate, CNBC is re****ting that JPM has escrowed 6B for legal expenses

for the expected lawsuits. So, they've escrowed enough money so if they 
plowed that back into the deal, paying 6B 250M for BS, they could be 
offering $50 a share?

Seems like the stockholders would sign away their right to litigate rather

quickly.......
