bp had to settle 12 criminal charges and bp was found grossly negligent in causing the disaster.h those crimes in a grossly negligent behavior comes a historic fine if you apply our laws. and our laws are supposed to account for the enormous amount of oil spilled into the gulf of mexico, the clean water act, the oil pollution act says bp is required to put everything back the way it was basically. economically and ecologically. pay for the damage that was done and pay for restoration. that is the oil pollution act. in addition, we want to make sure that other companies will not engage in the same sort of criminal and grossly negligent behavior. and so want each of those legal counts, i think the settlement failed. it fails to account for the clean water act and fails to account for full restoration and i think it certainly failed as a very very important tool for dissuading this type of behavior in the future, which is very problematic given the move of the oil industry and even more dangerous and risky oil drilling behavior. aaron: could you explain how it breaks down? how much
