Well gee whiz. Who'd a thunk it?
"The U.S. Interior Department said on Thursday it gave final approval for Petrobras to use the first ever deepwater floating production storage facility in the Gulf of Mexico.

Now who on the earth is a BIG stockholder in Petrobras and would make a financial killing on this? I *seem* to recall it's someone pretty 'famous' (or, 'infamous'). Oh yeah. Why it's...

Obama Boss George Soros Ready To Profit From Oil Disaster
by Tammy on June 14, 2010 Tammy Bruce.com

I'm not sure that we (the USA) can survive it until Jan. 20th, 2013 when Barry and the First Wookie get evicted. This communist duo have their America Hating Minions entrenched throughout the Federal system.

From November 6, 2012, to Jan 20, 2013, these twos can utterly destroy us. Right now it's 671 Days to inauguration of the NEW POTUS.

Billionaire investor George Soros on Tuesday reported that during the fourth quarter he increased his already considerable stakes in Brazilian state-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. /quotes/comstock/13*!pbr/quotes/nls/pbr (PBR 38.29, +0.05, +0.13%) and Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. /quotes/comstock/13*!pot/quotes/nls/pot (POT 99.36, -1.25, -1.24%).

Soros, through his Soros Fund Management LLC, reported holding 36.8 million American depositary receipts of the Brazilian oil company known as Petrobras as of Dec. 31 - a holding valued at about $900 million at the time. Soros held 21.2 million ADRs at Sept. 30, according to his disclosure filed with the SEC.

Soros also reported holding $434 million in Canadian Potash shares as of Dec. 31 - a total of about 5.9 million shares. He reported holding 3.3 million Potash shares as of Sept. 30. Petrobras and Potash were the two largest stakes reported by the Soros fund as of Dec. 30 (Excerpt) Read more at marketwatch.com ...

Ohaha stupidly shut down US offshore drilling--33 rigs-- and put Americans out of work. But Ohaha is "lending" $2B to Brazil to drill even deeper than the calamitous Horizon platform, using the same rigs now in the Gulf.

Watta coincidence (/snix). George Soros, has a $900M stake in Petrobras (Brazilian Big Oil). US taxpayers will never see that $2B "loan" again.

===================================

THIS JUST IN News sources say Soros sold his entire Brazilian Petrobras stake to help finance the purchase of 4% stake in Bombay Stock Exchange. Buying and selling of non-US listed companies, including ADRs on US stock exchanges, is not required to be registered on the SEC forms.
