I find that funny. Bayer buys US government owned Monsanto. Did they not know what the deal entailed? Did they think that owning the world's food production was worth the risk of constant judical trials? 332M USD isn't that much considering how much controlling most of the global crop patents and pesticides to go along is worth IMHO. But then again, why did the US government get rid of it? To avert a much larger trial? I guess it's more mysterious than funny.
