Grade A+ Trolling. My apologies if you aren't.
My last response to you. Him getting paid doesn't prove his guilt or innocence. There's no audio of him admitting anything, or a video proving his guilt or innocence. If there was then Arizona Green Tea would have told him to stfu and go **** himself in a polite way or they would counter sue for defamation and fraud. Or if he was innocent he would be very well off.
Given there is no concrete proof of guilt or innocence they obviously went with some form of the bolded. At that point it's a he said she said what does each party believe type of situation. In those types of cases the Corporation or business definitely investigates the integrity of the "victim" to calculate the chances of foul play. People who are broke, desperate, and addicted to something pull these kinds of scams all the time. I'm sure Arizona Green Tea found out Kydd was broke, unemployed, a gambling degen (kinda easy to find out), and grinding poker. They definitely take that into account before they negotiate any kind of settlement.
By paying off the scammer in this situation is much more cost effective than 1. paying out the nose for corporate lawyers and court fees 2. Bad publicity second page news "Arizona Green Tea has glass bits in it" which would hurt the company far more than paying this scammer off. For Arizona Green Tea it's just some annoying fly on the wall that they make go away simply because it's not worth their time or money to squabble over.
