$5+ Billion BP Payouts May Reach $10 Billion Total For Deep Horizon Gulf Of Mexico Major Oil Rig Spill Disaster To Claimants Including Many Businesses

     Thursday, 16 April 2015, NEW YORK, NY - British Petroleum Plc's (BP) settlement fund now has paid out more than $5 billion to claimants including many businesses fund administrator Patrick Juneau announced yesterday on his website for victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion, delayed response and resultant oil spill disaster filling the Gulf of Mexico unchecked with oil allegedly later largely not cleaned up but actually hidden below the water surface by mixing it with the so-called Corexit "dispersant" claimed by many including HBO's VICE, environmentalists, the devastated Gulf coast seafood industry and others actually to have formed a lasting mixture much more toxic than the oil toxicity alone.
     BP reportedly has ceased complaints about and calls for the removal of settlement fund administrator Juneau for alleged excessive payouts including BP has claimed to those who suffered no harm from the BP environmental disaster. Juneau has stated that more than half of the payouts to date have gone to businesses suffering economic losses as well to the seafood industry devastated by BP's oil spill.
     Meanwhile BP has launched an aggressive marketing campaign casting itself as a reformed model corporate environmental citizen presumably relying on the misunderstanding of those exposed to the advertising campaign that BP actually is paying out any money willingly. Meanwhile as mentioned above many still believe BP's Deepwater Horizon oil spill has not been cleaned up but only hidden from view in a toxic stew just below the surface water of the Gulf of Mexico thus the new moniker BP's "Gulf of Corexit". BP has raised its estimate of what total payouts to claimants will be by more than $2 billion to a total estimate of nearly $10 billion.
