I acknowledge that Ty is a practical man, however... after hearing his reaction to a previous case he was involved with where absolutely moronic ethics complaints were thrown around, I am of the belief that Ty will not be easily persuaded to accept a settlement from Ron. Ultimately he is obliged to do as his client bids and he is professional enough to do that, but I suspect that if a settlement from/including Toye is offered he would not be afraid to let his client know how he feels.
I have been saying that ron will most likely be thrown to the wolves(legally and by his fiance), but I have another reason why even if funi, marchi, and rial settle, ron will still get sued. Someone needs to go to court to truly vindicate vic in the public eyes.. Ron has caused the most ongoing damage and has the least connection to vic.
What I would honestly love to see happen as a reality:
Rial: Settle, but will have to give a full retraction of all defamatory statements, delete said statements, and admit that this was all false information and cannot delete the tweet for 1 years(also pinned for 30 days). Cooperate on giving info to leading to R2+. Also cannot speak of vic publicly(after the retraction) which includes interviews, tweets, post, retweets, likes, favorites, or any other medium of communication
Marchi: Settle and same with the whole retraction, delete, and admit false info(or at least went off bad information). Pin said tweet admitting going off false info for 30 days(also cannot delete for 1 years). Cooperate on giving info to help lead to R2+.
Also cannot speak of vic publicly(after the retraction) which includes interviews, tweets, post, retweets, likes, favorites, or any other medium of communication
Funi: Settle whether forced by sony or realizing the shit they got into. Will pay roughly 3/4 of the fees vic has asked for in damages. Retract statement indicating investigation of sexual harassment leading to firing. Must also restore vic in the credits on all sold media. Must do a 180 day recall on all sold media without the vic interview or his credit(must make recall public).
Ron: Gutted in court. Will be on the hook for the remaining 25% of vics asking damages. May even end up in contempt of court if he is that exceptional of a moron. Will be used as an example and a case to be pointed at to exonerate vic by the court. More than likely this is the hill he will want to die on
I am also running under the assumption that the lawyer will probably have to drop one or both of them in the future since they will have to probably testify against each other. I also know not all this will happen and some borders on unreasonable.
