Last month, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood filed a lawsuit against Ken Feinberg, stating he and the GCCF had not complied with a subpoena issued last February asking for full access to GCCF records so Hood’s office could put them under review. Among other things, Hood alleges that Feinberg has intentionally stalled payments to oil spill claimants in the hopes financial desperation will encourage settlements with the GCCF.

Feinberg denies this.

Feinberg denies a lot.

Feinberg would still deny he is an employee of British Petroleum if he thought he could get away with it, if Judge Barbier hadn’t ordered him to stop making such claims.

And…

Feinberg realizes that having Hood’s lawsuit heard in Hinds County, Mississippi might not work out real well for the GCCF and himself, so Feinberg moved the case to Federal Court where it will hopefully be heard someplace further away, where fewer have followed his history of shenanigans, false promises, and other assorted obfuscations.

Ken Feinberg: stalling claims, and now also stalling court cases trying to investigate his stalling of claims.

He certainly is the savior of the Gulf Coast.

Have a nice day.

Ed. Note: Yesterday (Aug 16th), with very little fanfare, Ken Feinberg modified the rules for final and interim payments: check it out, more on that tomorrow…
