    Settlements are always necessarily dispositive of the truth. Sometimes it makes sense to just pay a settlement fee than to go through litigation if you expect your attorney fees to be greater than the settlement cost. Also it’s not uncommon for settlements agreements to not confirm allegations so as to not benefit future cases against the defendant.

      “My commitment: We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win,” he wrote. “We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.”

      Either he’s full of shit, he did after a horse for sex or both.

      On one hand it might be cost effective but on the other its not like cost is an issue for someone with like ten zeoes in his account balance. Maybe he thought getting it out of the news cycle was more important then how it would look becoming a thing… too bad lol
