In a statement, BP said it had also asked for payments from the Seafood Settlement Compensation program, into which it has paid $2.3 billion, to be suspended while its allegations are investigated.
In its lawsuit BP claims some of Watts’s clients were “phantoms” carrying social security numbers that belonged to either living people that were not the named claimants or in some cases to people who were dead.
