London - (BigOilShagger!): A group of London lawyers who put up more than ten million squid of their own dosh to defend 31,000 sick and penniless Ivory Coast nationals has played an absolute blinder.
Three years of practically pawning everything including the office cat to fund the class action against Iraq oil-for-fraud traders Trafigura has netted a whopping $50 million settlement.
And that's before a staggering estimated $25 million of costs which Trafigura's coffers will have to cough up.
At their Clerkenwell chambers this weekend a spokesperson for Leigh Day & Co solicitors was saying absolutely nothing.
However a fly on the wall has just casually mentioned that Trafigura's woes are only just starting.
Chevron's Ecuadorean environmental lawsuit Judge Juan 'Sitting Duck' Nunez has been on the Trafigura payroll for many hyears along with fledgeling Global Piss Process thug President Rafael Correa.
Big Oil has never been nmore enticing!
