I don't know if it is true or not, but I could imagine that a bunch of people who were exhausted and probably still frightened might not have the good sense to tell a company flunky to pound sand or get slapped with a kidnapping lawsuit.
Oddly enough, a friend of mine down in that area told me that everybody down there is talking about it. It is barely even a topic anyplace up here that I have been to.

That story was out the day after the blowout, take it with a grain of salt,not taking up for TransOcean in any way/shape/form, but there are a lot of "stories" going around "leaked out" by lawyers......You can just now get a cabin/hotel room down near the spill, they have been booked up since the day after the spill by attorneys from all over the USA!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that they have all the commercial fishermen "signed up" for a class action lawsuit, the're soliciting sport fishermen who sometimes fish the area for another class action suit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Myself and 6 to 8 buddies fish out of Venice 3 to 5 times a year, we have been contacted to join in the sport fishermen suit, I'm guessing they got that info from the place we always stay at, been staying at the same place for almost 10 years now!!!!!!!!!!!
