In recent months, BP has declared war on the people and businesses of the Southeast who have come forward to settle with the company over its unprecedented 2010 oil spill. BP set the rules and we have simply followed them. Now the company, which has less than a stellar record in the veracity department (see suspension from doing business with the US government for a lack of corporate integrity and a conviction for lying to the Federal Government about the spill), claims the judge and neutral administrator overseeing settlement payments have hijacked the agreement, rewriting key terms to allow windfalls to undeserving businesses. BP has trotted out examples of so-called “fictitious claims” made by businesses that in the company’s opinion are “too far” from the Gulf or “too far removed from tourism” to possibly have been impacted. Poppycock.
