johnjacobjingle commented on the blog post Feinberg Expects to Pay Out Only One-Fifth of Total BP Claims Fund
First of all, Mr. Feinberg and his firm were initially paid $850,000 and received a raise to $1.25 million (which is what they get paid now) MONTHLY.
1.25 x 12 = $15 million annually.Regarding the $16 billion still sitting in BP’s account, if the people are vigilant and determined I don’t see why that number can’t be drastically reduced. How? Continuing to file claims. People all along the Gulf of Mexico should be filing claims. Why? Because everyone in one way or another was economically affect. That argument can be made. How? Hire an attorney working on contingency fee and have them make it for you. In addition to claims, BP will be hit with punitive damages in court.
More importantly, we need to reach out to our public officials to make sure that BP is held accountable financially. This is a political season and we need to remind them that.
