BP argues in its filing that the Feinberg estimate vastly overstates the likely damage, which it places in the range of just 25 percent to 50 percent of a claimants’ 2010 losses. The company noted that almost all of the closed fishing grounds had reopened, and economic recovery in tourism was well under way, with hotel and sales tax revenues in the fall of 2010 similar to those from the same period in the year before.

BP has a fiduciary responsibility to make sure its shareholders' money is not fraudulently disbursed.

Unlike our government, they actually take this responsibility seriously. Apparently, you find this troubling. Says a lot about you.

If claims are in fact cut in half, maybe it would make up for the actual fraud that has already been paid out.

i agree they sould pay no more than necessary. the government really passed the buck, then they got really lucky like clinton, when he let bin laden go. and the way the dildos in the congress treated tony haward was despicable, when he wanted lis life back
