A federal judge in Alaska yesterday ordered Exxon Mobil Corp. to pay $6.75 billion to 32,000 fisherman, landowners and others affected by the 11 million gallons of oil that poured into Prince William Sound after the grounding of the Exxon Valdez nearly 15 years ago. WaPo article
I wonder if they figured in interest.
Exxon Mobil immediately vowed to appeal, and the case seems destined for further litigation.
But, of course.
And the fishermen are all dead now anyway, or will be before Exxon Mobil pays up.
