According to an Alabama Local News article, BP has been allegedly in talks with various scientists surrounding the Gulf, offering them extremely lucrative salaries for their help in defending the corporation during the impending Natural Resources Damage Assessment lawsuit to be issued by the U.S. government.

The catch? The contract involves some very strict terms including the stipulation that the hired scientist would not be allowed to publish their data for at least the next 3 years.

Is BP trying to silence potential accusatory scientific evidence by paying off the researchers in the field?
