Unreal. Some of these payments are going way upstream to build hotels, conference centers, etc. WAY past any impact zones. They are fleecing BP.

NOLA newspapers carry attorney advertising that says BP claims don’t have to show actual damages.
Bizarre !

The real claims have been paid.

There is money left in the pot

Lawyers see the money and creating bogus claims to extract any money left in the pot

BTW...... Freeh was hired by the Haslem’s (Pilot/Flying J) to defend them against the IRS/FBI assault intimidation resulting from their brother Gov Bill’s rejection of Obamacare exchanges in Tennessee.

We moved to Sarasota 2 years ago, and heard tons of ads from lawyers begging for MORE people and businesses to contact them for money from BP.

Noticed a new BP ad this week, stating BP will continue to pay legitimate claims.

When anyone starts handing out money, it’s certain that the grifters will be first in line. There are thousands of families illegally cashing Social Security checks of dead relatives, and the government can’t seem to identify who is dead, so why are we surprised that cheats cash in on every disaster?

Enough is enough. BP has paid its due and of course another Democratic Party constituent group, the trial shysters, are shaking them down for even more. The Dems are like a pack of wild dogs now. They smell blood and, as they seek to empower themselves even more, they are also systematically destroying everything in this country. Kind of puts a damper on things on the eve of the 4th.

And you can safely bet that all are Obama supporters...
