WooooHooooo! A round of drinks on the house! Darth is busted!
FWIW, it's really this man's fault that the GoM is now trashed beyond recognition. He is the one who facilitated the deregulation of the oil bidniz, encouraging lawmakers to let the industry lobbyists write crucial legislation, through the widening liberties on K Street. As we can see, by the example of ButtPlug's GoM behavior, this corruption is now well entrenched. There are revolving doors within revolving doors, wheels within wheels of corruption resulting in profound environmental toxic degradation where ever this industry operates. None of them are tidy outfits, and Darth gave them license to behave in an irresponsible manner. Darth is the grand daddy of this monumental mess.

Great find Tutu, we will see what comes of it.
Hi Isis! I think you meant to say the Minerals Management guys, amirite?
I don't expect there to be successful extradition, but is mighty fine to see the evidence on the table in a court of law somewhere on the planet.
Well, Mineral Management guys, what's in it for them? Follow the money...
Aggressive Accounting Practices
is very enlightening...
why?
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Bottom line...
You can hold the wealth of the world, but if you can't trade it, what good does it do you?
Just my opinion.
