To mark the two-year anniversary of the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, an arrest has been made linking BP to the horrific aftermath. Kurt Mix, a former BP engineer, has been charged with two counts of obstructing justice for deleting from his iPhone hundreds of text messages he exchanged with a co-worker and a contractor, according to a criminal complaint unsealed today.

From the Wall Street Journal:

The deleted messages, some of which were recovered forensically, included sensitive information about the failure of one of the efforts to stop the flow of oil, known as the “top kill.” This includes a May 26, 2010, message from the first day of the top-kill efforts that said, “Too much flowrate—over 15,000,” indicating the flow from the well was three times higher than the company had said was the official rate of flow.

In related news, BP posted a 2011 profit of $26 billion; former BP exec Tony Hayward, now chief executive of oil venture Genel Energy, received in a merger this year shares worth $17 million.
