Well this is good news, but is still sad in that Pirate still obviously isn't getting the full 1.3 million, or the settlement terms would not have to be kept secret. Further, Pirate's original email did not state the settlement involved RTG, so I assume RTG isn't paying anything. I assume Delanos is probably paying around $50k (if they were paying the full amount, there would be no need for an undisclosed "settlement" involding them) and Hampton's probably is paying $250k or so (all they could probably afford without going out of business). I would also assume either Hamptons was sold or at least is being required by RTG to assume new management. But of course, I really have no clue and am just guessing, and of course I understand the need for Pirate to keep quiet about the terms. I hope he got at least $500k, but we'll never know.
Congratulation Pirate
.Its great for all of us to know that finally you have reached a settlement which will leave all parties sattisfied.
Nonetheless I want to state the following:
From my view if he got 250K or even 500K is not acceptable at all.That's 50%-75%+ less than the ammount he won fair and square.He won 1.3million he must receive 1.3Million.What if he had lost 1.3Million?
Would they let him pay 12,000 a month until he clears up the balance?Would they let Pirate pay less because of financial difficulties he might have as a result of the substantial loss?
I don't think so and I find it unfair if he got anything less than 1.3Million.
As aceinhole21 stated Pirate obviously isn't getting the full 1.3 million which is sad
