Sammendrag
After an oil spill in the Gulf, British Petroleum had to compensate victims of the

accident. The total compensation was $11 billion. As suggested by the theory of

convenience, a financial motive, an organizational opportunity and a personal

willingness can explain deviant behavior by members of the elite in society to gain

from the compensation program. In the case of the BP Deepwater Horizon

settlements, attorneys were both presenting claims on behalf of victims as well as

approving claims on behalf of petroleum company BP. It was a profitable assignment

for attorneys, and some attorneys made it even more profitable for themselves by

kickbacks and by both applying for and approving compensations. As illustrated in

this case study, a report of investigation can serve as an empirical basis for the study

of convenience theory.
