Just threw the filing in the Gulf. I guess that's effective. Maybe they'll get a favorable and enforceable response from posiden's court. The best of all the options really.

US court would throw it out immediately due to lack of standing and I can't imagine a Mexican court thinking it has jurisdiction. International courts don't do states vs companies. Despite sovcit's objections admiralty courts don't have much impact on Google. Posiden is the best option.
