The one scenario that it may play out that way , is he and his buddies have all loaded up on commons on one way or the other (Cough 1789 ventures or whatever that is) and if releasing it as-is, gets his pot fuller, he can do it.
WIll there be outcry from the world that he has let them go for free while he could have made X00 billion for the tax payer ? Yah.. But do you think he cares? He will create a distraction like buying UK or selling hawaii or leasing the moon and everyone will move on to that topic.
It all depends on how their coffers get filled.. If you seriously think that they are to solve, deficit and utilize fannie money etc... OK, believe.
