According to an employee at the restaurant, the supposed priest urged employees to “get the sins out.”

    Huh… so were the employees told that their restaurant was also a church? They’re splitting a pool of $70k in damages? What were the damages exactly? “I told a fake priest stuff.” That’s damages? Sure, there’s fraud… but damages? I thought going to confession was free.

    Sorry, I guess I have more questions than answers after reading that article.

      I think a lot of the money is due to this:

      “Investigators said the restaurant denied overtime pay to employees and illegally paid managers from the employee tip pool. The employers threatened employees with retaliation and immigration-related consequences for cooperating with investigators and fired one worker they believed had complained to the Labor Department.”
