Chris Oynes


This man has responsible for heading the arm of an agency that permitted BP's profound neglect to turn into a catastrophe, the fallout of which will take a very long time to understand.

He announced his retirement recently, taking off a month earlier than he had planned.

What a coincidence that the section of the Minerals Management Service he oversaw (the one responsible for regulating offshore drilling) is coming under increasingly heavy scrutiny in the wake of the unaccidental man-made disaster.
