Halliburton confession. Anybody surprised?

Contractor to plead guilty over deleted computer simulations testing methods used to cement Deepwater Horizon well.

Halliburton has agreed to plead guilty to destroying evidence related to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the US department of justice said on Thursday. The government said Halliburton's guilty plea was the third by a company over the spill and would require the world's second-largest oilfield services company to pay a maximum US$200,000 statutory fine.

Halliburton also agreed to three years' probation and to continue co-operating with the criminal probe into the 20 April 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig.

    You mean to say that it wasn't a British company after all that was responsible, but a multinational f*ck-up with United States companies partly to blame, yet not taking the financial burden and blame. Meanwhile, BP has been concerned enough about its future due to rising claims that it has sought help from the UK government.
