Tell me if I have this right;
BP set aside $20 billion USD for compensation (to locals, fishermen, etc)
BP to date has paid only $4 billion of that, mostly in the form of one-time buyout payments (that those who signed for them didn't at the time know what they were signing)
Ongoing compensation payouts to locals is too slow and dragging on while peoples' livelihoods suffer.
The BP lawyer who is handling the compensation payouts is himself being paid over $800K PER MONTH, and his salary just went up to $1.2 MILLION per month.
That about right?
