209: Escrow Schmeshcrow

BP Escrow Account, Kenneth Feinberg and Jamie Gorelick

The $20 billion fund established by BP is identified as an escrow account rather than a traditional fund, suggesting the terms of payout may be hidden from the public. Kenneth Feinberg, who managed the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, is appointed to oversee the payouts, while Jamie Gorelick, a former 9/11 Commission member, serves as BP's lead attorney. The hosts suggest this "cabal" is using the 9/11 playbook to limit BP's liability and prevent future lawsuits.
