Royal Dutch Shell still diddling its shareholders

Sir Phillip Watts

By John Donovan

Printed below is a letter received by a UK Shell shareholder from an American Royal Dutch/Shell Transport SEC Distribution Agent advising that a claim submitted in respect of the Royal Dutch Shell reserves fraud settlement is ineligible.  The relevant shareholder is a highly intelligence individual, but has no idea why his claim has been rejected and apparently does not feel it worthwhile to retain a lawyer capable of deciphering the legal language used in the rejection letter.

What a mad world we are in when the person most responsible for the fraud, Sir Phillip Watts KCMG (above), escaped with a severance/pension package of $18.5 million and also managed to retain his title and his Order of St Michael and St George, a British order of chivalry founded in 1818.

It was the negligence of the financial regulators and lack of retribution for greedy corporate crooks like Sir Phillip Watts which got us all into the current financial meltdown.

Sir Phillip walked off with a fortune while those he robbed money from are diddled out of the compensation to which they are legally and morally entitled.
