As I recall, it was 21 million plus 8 in putative, reduced to 8, and then probably less than 2 million ( I do not believe the settlement amount was ever disclosed)
relatively speaking, she nearly walked away with nothing.

You just threw some numbers out there, with no point of reference.
So It was just as good as making stuff up unless you validate them.

Lol @ your alleged “hand over fist losses” which you cannot even connect with Conti, directly or indirectly.
Youre just making stuff up.

I’m sure you have some data that shows these “hand over fist” losses.
And no one said she didn’t have the right to settle. What I am saying is that her fight to “protect children“ went to the shaft when her money was at risk.
No plaintiff or their lawyers care about JW children. They care about their own pockets. You know that.

Yes, the “Jewel in the Crown” of litigants who famously said: “I will never settle” but did just that when she began losing millions after the default judgement and putative damages were snatched away.
That’s who you’re talking about?
Not her — just like any other litigant and her lawyers, it’s all about the money.

1000 isn’t anywhere near 23,000 - if I am understanding you correctly.

They don’t need excuses — the doc request was illegal, period.
And the ARC commenced 15 years after Bowen’s assertion. Additionally, that database only deals with the US — every branch maintains their own database.
So again, Bowen was making stuff up. He had no idea what, who, or how many — and neither does anyone else.

Being “silent” itself is a concession. Another would be the plaintiff agrees that he can no longer recover damages on the basis of the suit.
This is why I say the lawyer, in this case, Zalkin, is the one who makes out the best.
Hes making a mint on the backs of these victims.

If anyone thinks that 4,000 a day (which is a little over a million a year) is draining money from WT, they are delusional.
That probably covers a DTE for a month.
One thing you all have a realize is that settling cases can be very beneficial for them. Why? Even if WT wins all their cases after a full trial, the victim can still take their story public and make books/movies without restriction because there is no confidentiality agreement.
Ever wonder why these people (like Conti and soon to be Lopez) have dropped off the map after a settlement? Because they cannot talk about it publicly. Another benefit is that it’s always cheaper to settle than go through an entire trial even if the WT were to win.
The problem is these greedy lawyers, who are the real profiteers. They want settlements so they can offset their costs and make a profit in the meantime. So it definitely hurts the victim if they want to give their story public exposure.
However, confidentiality also benefits the victim. They don’t have to disclose the consessions they had to make in order to recive the settlement dollars (every plantiff accepting a settlement has to concede something) so they don’t look bad in the eyes of the public, and it protects their information from being paraded around by the defendant(s) or other people who want to smear their reputation.
So in that sense, it’s a positive for both.
