i bet you they didn't keep accurate records or file their taxes properly. that is not BPs fault
Do you work for BP or know this firsthand?

Again do you work for BP? I know how my situation played out and several others. How do you know you know you aren't being lied to by BP? Do you actually believe all of their commmercials?

i just spent a week with about 40 fishermen who are affected by the oil spill and i asked most how bp was handling the claim. all said that bp wasn't giving anyone with records trouble
they were just bitching a little that bp isn't paying as much now, b/c bp paid many a ton early on and isn't paying that much now
they're also mad b/c they want to take the bp money AND fish (double dipping), and some have lost their bp claim for it. these people feel they're entitled to max out the money no matter what the underlying equity is

nope. i work in the field who sues the BPs of the world. i was trying to gather information on how valuable a suit would be (and for everyone who wants to try to get me in trouble, these are all current clients of another situation so no ethical rules were violated)
as of now, i'm staying as far away from a BP suit as i can. with the offset from the amounts paid, the recovery will be shite and it will take for fricking ever to sort this out
defense firms are going to make a killing on this though

Yeah some people aren't able to recover because they cannot prove the income.
In other situations, the tax return will reflect the gross total income for the year. However, BP is very likely subtracting overhead costs, (fuel, labor, expenses etc) from the gross total, since the overhead was not incurred to arrive at a net profit figure.
Some might not agree with the gross income being offset for overhead costs.
