>> The money was about to be released by court order, along with about $10B of interest. I don't know whether that is factual, however, a delay of only a year or two would have made far more sense than just paying them off in advance. It was like children doing the negotiation. You would, simply put, never give them the money before you had performance and in most circumstances, you would have called for a series of fractional payments. It was utterly stupid and something only Obama and Kerry could have agreed to. I don't think any competent commentator would have supported that horrible deal. Total amateur hour.
