Gulf Coast 'Spillionaires' Cash In on BP Payments

Hosted by

BP got most of the blame for the Gulf oil spill, the worst in US history. The federal government gave the company control over the clean-up, and BP has spent $16 billion so far to make things right. A report by ProPublica, co-published with the Washington Post, says that gusher of money has created profiteers. ProPublica's Kim Barker explains how these "spillionaires" have cashed in while others got much less.
