But even if just BPs CEO is complicit ... for Halliburton's profit ... he loses. The guy already owned the stock he sold. It's in his interest to drive the share price up before he sells. It's in his interest to captain a successful company, not this farce.
... because who would hire him if he sank the company to ... not make more money ... but cash out what he already owned. It doesn't make sense. He's getting less out of this deal than he otherwise could have.
It makes sense that he sold his stock because he had foreknowledge and could not prevent what was coming. Which means people with the power to tell BP AND Halliburton what to do had to pull the trigger.
I'm not saying it's not a conspiracy. I'm saying that if it is ... it's bigger than just money.
I should add, Boots and Coots would just be Halliburton profiting from the inevitable event if there was a bigger conspiracy.

I'm not for sure that I even need to respond to this, because in your reply, you actually figured it out. It just seems that you're teetering back and forth with the possibilities and what it could all mean.
Look at your own response, and you'll see that it actually makes perfect sense. One company here is subservient to the other. One profits while the other loses, yet, the elite still collect regardless. Just like you said, he (BP's CEO) sold it because of fore-knowledge of impending disaster. One hand washes the other. Sometimes a sacrificial lamb is essential for the benefit of the "greater cause." Just like chess. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your queen to get the main prize...THE KING. Since its apparent that you're a player by your avatar, you will be able to connect these dots quite easily.

There are 2 key distinctions I'm making here ...
1) Halliburton is not pulling the strings. Someone above Halliburton and BP is.
2) Which means this is not just about money. It's about control and power ... maybe about the US staying in the ME or going after Iran for oil. And convincing the President that is the only option.
Lots of people will find a way to make money from this. But this is the peak oil section of the forum and in the end money is paper. All that matters is control of depleting world reserves. That will determine the last country standing intact when the SHTF.
IT WAS PREVENTABLE...!
