If m
y rep is already stained, then spending more money to fight it off would be my move, not to settle. If people see I'm using all my resources to fight these supposedly false allegations, at least you have some people thinking "Damn, he spent all this money to prove his innocence, maybe he really didn't do it". Obviously not everyone, but he would have at least SOME on his side. Imo, settling and so quickly, not even putting up a fight, when you have millions and millions of dollars at your disposal, the best lawyers in America, etc...and not even attempting to fight it? I just don't see how this in anyway makes him not look more guilty.
