Crime, No Punishment: BP Gulf Settlement Deal "Pathetic" say Groups | Common Dreams:
"British oil company BP plead guilty to 14 felony and misdemeanor charges and agreed to pay $4.5 billion in fines on Thursday, over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
However, the resolution was reportedly made in exchange for a waiver of future prosecution on the charges, and critics say it will not come close to covering the untold damage caused by the disaster and outstanding federal civil claims."
Time to start putting more of these white collar crooks in prison. Fines mean nothing to them.
