avengers asked: "Why must "those" remain silent? Is it because they got money? or because they promised? or what?"

Avengers, the court order the Watchtower defendants to provide all their documents regarding how they handled these abuse cases. (this is sometimes referred to here as 'the secret database'). The Watchtower appealed against this, and lost its appeal. So, instead of acquiescing to the court, the Watchtower felt it in their best interests to pay the victims in an out of court settlement. One of the requirements in Watchtower insisted upon regarding these settlements was that the victims cannot divulge any information regarding the case, or the settlement.
