MATEEN WAS ACTOR TOO

While working as a security guard for the laughably-incompetent government contractor G4S, Mateen appeared in a 2012 award-winning documentary, The Big Fix, about the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

As recounted by Daily Mail, Mateen was filmed by documentary director Rebecca Tickell using a hidden camera. Pretending to be an oblivious passer-by, Tickell asked Mateen about the relief efforts. Mateen bashed BP and the workers:

“No one gives a s***, no one gives a s*** here. Like, everybody’s just out to get paid. They’re, like, hoping for more oil to come out and more people to complain so they’ll have job. ‘Cause once people get laid off here, it’s gonna suck for them. They want more disaster to happen. That’s where their money-making is.”

Tickell said, “It’s all about the money, right?” To which Mateen replied, “All about the money. Exactly.”
