Stephen Baldwin: Costner 'Robbed' Me In BP Disaster

[DainBramaged]

Stephen Baldwin is suing Kevin Costner, claiming Costner and his business partner "schemed" to make millions of dollars off the BP oil rig disaster ... by allegedly duping Baldwin into selling shares in a company that builds machines that separate oil from water.

In a lawsuit filed in Louisiana federal court, Baldwin claims in April, he had a meeting in the wake of the oil disaster, and decided to become a 10% partner in an invention backed by Costner -- a device that separated oil from water that was actually developed during the filming of "Waterworld."

According to the lawsuit, Costner and his partners made it seem as if Costner had already sold his shares in the company when in fact he was still heavily invested. Baldwin also claims the company misrepresented that there was no deal to sell the contraption to BP.

Baldwin alleges he was duped into selling his shares back to the company so Costner and his partners could score a bigger profit in a deal that was already inked -- specifically, a deal with BP valued at more than $52 million.

Baldwin is suing for unspecified damages. No comment from Costner's camp.

3. I put it in Entertainment because I figured it wouldn't survive there....

Dupes, fact of life on the ole DU.

2. Broke, desperate and ignorant is no way to go through life

4. Interesting set of criteria.

What does 'broke' mean to you?

Many times money is used to 'break' people. Although many with money are not broken, that can be used.

As far as a way to go through life, would you consider being rich by many actions of theft from people that work to be a way to go through life.

Just looking at the function of your post, not about Costner, or Baldwin.





However, "Did I ever tell you how I became a postman, I don't know if you would laugh or cry" Is a great quote.

Although you have to remove the political and nationalism filters from the story, also many label traps in that movie.


"How much mail can a dead postman deliver" an interesting question indeed.

6. Well at least Financially

The Fundie Baldwin has been in the throes of bankruptcy, despite he and his wife receiving TONS of royalties from their acting/singing days.

Perhaps he should have moved to a middle-class home rather than a palace...

7. He probably still has beer and travel money though.

So something to think about.

5. The "Born Again", deeply troubled Baldwin, I guess.

Searching for coin in the sofa cushions.

8. Didn't Baldwin file bankruptcy earlier this year?

9. Good! Fuck you, Stephen Baldwin.

:P

10. I have no sympathy for anyone who stared in "Biodome."

With the exception of Tenacious D, because they are the greatest band in the world! LOL
