anyone with a brain could see that she was going to lose this case. The options package was absurd and placed on the backs of retail shareholders most of which have lost 80-90% of their money and she wants more shares? Cant make this stuff up...only in NWBO land would a shareholder think the package was acceptable. Even the Judge presiding over the case made comments about it. Its called GREED! Period.

Greed, as defined by Merriam-Webster:

greed
noun
'gred
Synonyms of greed
: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (such as money) than is needed
motivated by naked ambition and greed

This could have been very hard to settle, with neither side completely happy. LP should be damn happy to keep 83% of the award and be left with over 200M shares worth of options at fairly low strike price. A buyout even at $2.50 nets her a half-B, much more on a bigger buyout. Any buyer of NW would definitely need this lawsuit to be settled!

Direct is a huge question mark - if it does work well, it's worth huge $, but that remains to be seen. The Roswell IP might be worth a lot, too, but that also is unproven. So my opinion has been that it would be unlikely for LP and a buyer to come to terms. BUT even on a very small settlement she definitely walks away with generational $. A buyout even for a measly $4-5B would be better for shareholders that if the pps were to languish indefinitely. Nobody can begin to guess what the actual number might be.
