No, it's not. I'm not sure if you are engaged in your standard stirring the pot, or if you truly are ignorant. It is standard procedure for many companies to enter into a settlement to avoid the uncertainly and expense of a trial. Indeed, many defense attorneys will advice clients, guilty or not, to accept a plea bargain as long as it doesn't involve jail time. There is a whole industry based on this particular fact. Sue a company with deep pockets with the expectation that they will give you money just to go away. Some are guilty, some are not, but there is a reason that most such settlements do not include an admission of guilt.
