A $173,000 claim for an “adult escort service” was not only submitted, but actually approved for payment by court-appointed lawyer Patrick Juneau, it was reported recently.
BP has flashed the red lights, with a new advertising campaign in some US newspapers proclaiming: “The IRS wouldn’t accept this claim. But the Gulf Settlement Program did.”
The embattled oil giant said the claim was made alongside unsigned and undated documents.
