Mr. Anonymous is keeping me busy with document dumps from the DHECC. I don't know where they're coming from but keep 'em coming.
Today I got this letter, or partial letter, written by an unidentified BP representative to Claims Administrator, Pat Juneau.
Aside from railing on Juneau for his failure to be transparent, the letter points out that he had originally contracted the McGladrey firm at an estimated cost of 1.2 to 1.6 million. Over the course of a year that cost ballooned to a whopping 14 million + smackeroos.
Looks like everyone is making a ton of money on this settlement with the exception of the actual claimants, many of whom are still suffering from the effects of this spill.
The McGladrey firm was apparently contracted to conduct an internal audit of the settlement program. Funny thing is it looks like there is nothing to show for it...at least not to BP.
I was told about a month ago by a source a "scathing audit" had been conducted, mostly surrounding the seafood claims, which Pat Juneau redlined the moment it was delivered. He then went on to apparently shitcan the whole thing before it could see the light of day. I assume this is that audit.
If that's the case I can understand the ire of the author of this letter....14 million and nothing to show for it.
Once again we're in a grey zone here regarding the transparency issue. If the DHECC was a public body then I could file a FOIA for that audit but I know I will simply get denied if I do as the DHECC body does not consider itself a public entity. However, as the above letter points out (ad nauseam) Juneau has repeatedly touted his intent to make the settlement process transparent. I think the public deserves to see this audit. Judge Barbier, himself, has even stated the settlement will be transparent. One would think he would order this audit to be made public....if he is aware of it (and we know he is now).
I'm not gonna hold my breath either one of those guys are going to live up to their promises but if there is anyone out there that can get their hands on this thing, please send it to me even if it's COD. I will ask for donations to cover the cost.
Actually...I'm gonna ask for donations anyway since I haven't in a while :). If you appreciate the work I do here on AZ you can send a few bucks...or 14 million.....my way via the PayPal button on the right >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
