I think ZW is actually referring to the last visible part of pg. 65, below the long (and mysterious) redaction.
"Q. And do you know what the -- the final
22 settlement number was?
23 A. Yeah, I do.
24 Q. And -- okay"
Then, on pg. 66:
"1 Is it -- is it a number that you're
2 happy with?
3 A. Well, you know, you never want to go
4 around second-guessing people. Obviously we
5 thought the number should have been higher. But I
6 was not in court while things were going on, so I
7 don't think I'm in the position to second guess.
8 But all three partners felt disappointed with the
9 number"
But we don't know the number....Earl says he does but doesn't share it. As you point out, $1 Billion would be disappointing if $3 Billion were expected. From long uoip's recent post, seems Bentham was expecting a large settlement as well. I can't imagine them folding for $100 million, can you?
