(10,494 posts)(Bribe) of his buddies, the attorneys he appointed to the Plaintiff's Steering Committee (PSC) to represent the victims of the BP oil spill. BP has offered $660,000,000 to the PSC for agreeing to the terrible Class Action Settlement where currently 75% of the victims are being denied and the other 25% being paid a pittance of their losses. The kicker is that the PSC doesn't get the money unless the settlement makes it through without being overturned. The Judge would not let us speak at the un-"Fairness Hearing" to explain our objections to this virtually one-sided agreement. All of the points we made in the brief that we filed for the hearing have come sadly true, yet the PSC will not try to overturn the very bad deal because they lose the $660,000,000!
To make matters worse, BP had inserted a sealed provision that said that they reserved the right to back out of the deal if a certain percentage of claimants opted out of it. The Judge sent letters to our clients who opted out advising them they could opt back in if they filled out the enclosed form and sent it back to the court. The Judge never sent us the letter or notified us he was contacting our clients and advising them to do something we advised against.
This is only the tip of the iceberg in the most corrupt case of all time!
