With regard to settlement numbers, the last numbers I had any knowledge of that were in discussion had already reached the low seven figures. The comprehensive addition of the Virginia claims clearly added significant value. My best guess is that we have a low seven figure "structured" settlement with a present value in the low seven figures but paid out over many years, similar to an annuity.
Note that a recent case settled and publicly disclosed gave each victim just over $3MM dollars and given the case here I would suggest there were reasonably equivalent settlements.
POINT IS: 3ABN HAD TO PAY FOR THE SINS OF TOMMY RAY SHELTON AND THE COVER-UP LEAD BY DANNY LEE SHELTON. THAT IS NEWS!!!
Remember, this all began with an SDA official faxing me the claims against Tommy Ray Shelton in August of 2006. Ironically, Bob had been at ASI and come across similar allegations, including raised eyebrows at the presentation of Danny's new wife. The investigation began, was joindered and has continued to this very date!!!
JUSTICE TAKES TIME!!!! As an old friend from Virginia waxes eloquently "Justice grinds on slowly, but it grinds fine with time!!!"
And then there is the FINAL JUDGMENT!!!
