Attorneys accused in #BP kickback scheme await ruling from judge - NEW ORLEANS – Four attorneys accused of participating in a pay-to-play claims scheme connected to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill were all deemed to have engaged in unethical behavior last week by the judge overseeing the case. In the hearing, held last Friday, U.S. District Carl Barbier reserved formal judgment but was frank in his assessment of the actions of the accused, saying they did “tremendous injury” to the integrity of the BP claims process. “I rather regret that it has come to this,’’ Barbier said. “This is not what I was signing up to do when I took this job.”
