The spokesperson, supposedly from the company’s Paris office, claimed that Dow was finally accepting “full responsibility” for the 1984 gas tragedy that took place at its subsidiary, Union Carbide’s plant in the Indian state of Bhopal.

"Today I am very, very happy to announce that today, for the first time Dow is accepting full responsibility for the Bhopal catastrophe…this is a momentous occasion," said the person, whom BBC World identified in its report as Dow spokesperson Jude Finisterra.

The fraudulent spokesperson added: “We have resolved to liquidate Union Carbide, this nightmare for the world and this headache for Dow and use the $12 billion to provide more than $500 per victim, which is all that they've seen.”
