LOL you are out of touch with reality, he has 3 I believe settlements with woman from the Restaurant Association for sexual harassment claims. You don't settle and give people money if you aren't guilty, you defend yourself. Not sure what planet you are living on LOL.
Only reason the woman don't come out is because they signed a confidentiality agreement that would make them payback what they got from the settlement plus even more on top of that and a lawsuit.
First, there are only two "settlements" or severance payments, depending on who you ask.
Second, Cain didn't give them anything. He wasn't even there when these women were released from NRA.
Third, even if these were harassment settlements, the average cost of defending a harassment suit (in the late 90s) was $250,000.
Fourth, with 67% of all cases in the late 90s going to the plaintiff (employee) and an average judgment payment of $300,000, why did these women collectively settle for a mere $80,000 (again, assuming these actually were sexual harassment settlements, and not severance packages)?
http://www.thaxtonbarclay.com/employment-liability-insurance.htmMy guess is that they knew that, if they went to court, they would LOSE and be up to their eyeballs in legal fees. Ask Sharon Bialek (Cain's latest accuser) what that's all about.
So, even though you've done an investigation and found your CEO not guilty of what he stands accused, you're actually going to blow a quarter of a million dollars to verify that (knowing the odds are in your favor to win in court, anyway), instead of giving this woman (Kraushaar) $46K to just walk?
