Nice of them to not disclose the settle amount. Probably something along the lines of 20k… I wish I could settle billion dollar lawsuits with a few thousand dollars.

Settle for 5 billion. When I settle it’s for instant noodles or something. But then, nooo, it’s 5 billions…

The lawsuit is 5 billion, whatever they settled for is going to be a lot less.
