If BP would have hired a few Issan ladies with plastic bags and rubber bands, I reckon they could have capped off that leak in a few seconds. Instead, it took them months, leaking the equivalent of an Exxon Valdez every few days. Corporate irresponsibility on such a scale carries severe penalties.

I don't think there was anything corporate about it. The post was about individuals and businesses submitting fraudulent claims for losses incurred.

However, the deal opened the floodgates to 10,000 compensation claims a month, costing BP far more than the $7.8bn (£5.2bn) it had expected and leaving the oil major with a battle on its hands to try to limit the number of purported victims coming forward.
BP has no control over its payments to claimants, having agreed to a compensation formula and framework in a legal settlement covering certain personal and business liabilities.
But there's good news as well, in the form of new revenue streams:
