Not much chance of BP going bankrupt…

BP’s first-quarter replacement cost profit was $5,598 million, compared with $2,387 million a year ago, an increase of 135%.
Currently there is a cap of $75Million on BP’s liability (likely to be changed by Congress)… I’d say they’re still pretty darn profitable.
