You really don't understand how our legal system works. This wasn't hush money!! Here's when and how a settlement works. A party to a lawsuit is advised by their counsel. There are a million situations and scenarios that present themselves. If youre the plaintiff, and your lawyer tells you "look, if you proceed with this case, and take this to a jury, the way the facts are and the law is written, youre looking at a 25% chance the jury awards you 30 mil, and a 75% chance this guy walks. When that happens, you walk away with nothing at all, no guilty verdict, no money, and you can never sue again." This is how a settlement happens. Its not fucking hush money. It's the process, and a party making the best possible decision based on the circumstances.
Large companies do this every day. To fight off a sizeable lawsuit they would spend 12 mil. They could settle for 11 mil that day and make the final settlement agreement private, as well as admit NO FAULT. They settle for 11 and cut a check and walk away.
You don't understand the system.
