I agree it'll be fun to watch. He's got the cash. Will he want the Plaintiff's attorneys to get into his files on discovery? I don't know. I predicted a payment of $1,750,000 at the gym this morning. It's lunch money to Bezos. People thought that I was nuts -- way too low. I don't see a tremendous amount of damage here.
It'll be interesting to see whether the Court in KY will agree to seal these depositions. WaPo will move to seal them and all documents provided in discovery as "trade secrets". I think that Plaintiff will push back. Like you said, this will be interesting.

I was using that as an example for other cases. Such as rich people paying off victims not to charge them criminally or call them out on sex abuse. A service the civil court system offers the super rich and some gold diggers. In this case there was no "crime" I guess . Do slander and libel have criminal penalties? If they do isn't that what shouldn't be sought here as a deterant.?
Punishing a company from exceeding it;'s bounds should be separate from the settlement paid to someone based upon their losses or what they have endured as they are separate issues.
