    Now is to continue expanding the exploitation of our oil in ultra-deep waters.
    Unofficially the governments of Brazil and China are studying actions to close the capital of Petrobras traded on the New York Stock Exchange, buying back 5% negotiated, including any debentures held by Westerners. At the same time these roles would be traded through the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

    It would be a way of Petrobras approaching Asia which is where the business and investment opportunities are concentrated.

    4. That would be highly illegal and unethical and probably would put a lot of people in jail.

    Nobody is going to touch PBR until its though its SEC investigation and it hasn't even begun.
    I highly doubt the company can survive in its current form.

    Sorry but that's now how things work. Fraud is serious in the USA. Not only could the SEC destroy PBR confiscate all of its International assets it can put its Execs behind bars and no amount of screaming Marxist Monkeys could stop them.

    Yes Brasileiro you are a liar.

    Your posts have multiple times been shown to be outright fiction.

    Show me one verifiable news article, that is NOT some random blog, to show that Peteobas was going to move its listing from the US to China.

    Just one.

    @6. You've always been a liar, Brasso. Do you not understand? You're like a cesspit dipstick. We look at what you say and we can tell the depth of the shit.
    @8. Oh do please go to war. Bearing in mind that you will probably want to 'war' against the United States, how do you fancy your 'chances' against 2,500 nuclear warheads. I like the thought of the effects on other south american 'countries'. But with that in mind, how many south american 'countries' would attack you? Going with BRICS? Russia has been targeted by the US for at least 65 years. Doesn't Pakistan hate India? Chinese paddy fields. South African wimps.
    See whether you can understand this. What does the Anglosphere care about BRICS?
    I thought about saying 'Get a grip'. But you're off in la la land where brasso and argie troops know how to fight. What they do know how to do is to die. How do you fancy 310,000 military deceased? Here's a clue. The appropriately named 'Little Boy' was dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August, 1945. It was truly 'little'. Total number of deaths - 166,000.
    Did you notice that I only mentioned 2,500 warheads? Leaving plenty with which to annihilate Russia and China.
    I'll go further. It wasn't that long ago that your 'country' had to ask the UK to travel south and teach you how to get off boats, right? Want to watch more than 2,600 British armoured vehicles come ashore? No? Then how about more than 33,000 US armoured vehicles. And you can manage 1,800? And that just how outclassed you are militarily. Are you imagining some sort of RICS military expeditionary force. Sorry. They're too busy repressing their own populations.
    Have you ever considered reality?
    By the way, you want petrobras to be 'clean'? Try an acid bath. A really strong acid bath. Flesh-stripping.

    As if to prove my point, comes the following late today:

    “ Brazil’s Federal Police on Friday 10.04.2015, arrested three former lower-house lawmakers and four other suspects in a new phase of the investigation into a massive bribery case centered on state-controlled oil giant Petrobras, officials said.

    Andre Vargas, a member of the ruling Workers Party, or PT; Pedro Correa of the Progressive Party, or PP; and Luiz Argolo of the opposition Solidarity party were taken into custody.”

    Sr. Pedro Correa was among those previously convicted in the so-called “trial of the century,” another landmark Brazilian corruption case that was uncovered in 2005 and hit the administration of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, mentor and predecessor of current head of state Dilma Rousseff

    “ Lies, all lies ! ” she says. But everything at Petrobras is cleansed now.

    Until the next shoe drops, which may someday fit her own feet.

    Everything was ascertained with respect to Petrobras. What the judge, militant from PSDB, want is to keep the case in point to prevent the governance of the country.

    Today was installed HSBC CPI to investigate the names linked to money laundering and illegal tax evasion.
    The PSDB and Brazil's ruling class can not survive this CPI.
    We Brazilians are changing our country! To better!

    ps: we know that there is corruption in our country. already you guys deny it. must be wonderful to live in Wonderland. idiots living the illusion that are perfect ...

    BRASSO
    Christopher Latham Sholes (February 14, 1819 – February 17, 1890) was an American inventor who invented the first practical typewriter and the QWERTY keyboard still in use today. He was also a newspaper publisher and Wisconsin politician.

    Yes, it's wiki, but against the delusional Brassies who GAF?

    The first typewriter that was sold in quantity was made by Remington, USA, firearms and sewing machine makers.
