"You're assuming that there will be an S-1," he said, referring to the initial registration form required for an initial public offering (IPO). "Okay, maybe there will be." He argued that a business carrying this kind of exposure has one route left: "The only way to deal with this kind of liability is to go to the government and say, nationalise us, please." Reading between the linesKarp said businesses rarely announce what they want outright.
