Well… "In a civil suit, [Brazilian] authorities alleged BYD and its partners had preyed upon 220 vulnerable laborers — some of whom were illiterate — duping them with false promises of high pay.

International law is the field that first turned me into a Legal Realist, when my Public International Law prof kept talking about "binding norms" but could never explain who enforces them or how they're binding if you can just ignore them. That doesn't mean I wanted to be right. #GiftLink

From the article: The government has already spent $47 million repairing and maintaining the aging ship, which is only valued at $10 million, federal prosecutors said in a court filing. And it will most likely need to spend another $5 million over the next few months to cover insurance and crew, among other costs.
