Well, BP's market value has dropped $100 billion in six weeks.

That seems, uh, a little excessive although Goldman Sachs yesterday estimated BP's liability at $177 billion and they would likely file for bankruptcy to protect the company.

EDIT: Standard Chartered Bank yesterday said their liability could be $40 billion.

Obviously, lots of differing opinions.

Their biggest problem seems to be that politicians are getting angry this is sticking to themselves and might be bent on revenge.
