There is a difference between the coast guard rescuing an individual caught in a storm and a company that was willfully negligent and skated US laws and regulations by operating in international waters.

Logically, there should be a evaluation if the company was negligent and then the company should have to pay for the rescue.

Otherwise this is just another sickening case of privatizing profits and socializing losses, again.
