(CNN) – Bad information may be the only thing you can rely on from BP these days. Right now, thousands of people who make a living off the Gulf have suffered devastating losses. They've filed claims with BP, but they're still waiting for checks.
The oil giant says it's paid out $49 million so far, with another round of checks on the way, upping the total to $84 million. But as our Ed Lavandera found out, BP's promises don't pay the bills.
