So I've spent a lot of time now educating people.
plaintiff's attorneys on why they shouldn't silence their own clients.
But that's how widely accepted this is considered a best practice.
You settle, you sign an NDA, and everyone moves on.
Well, guess who doesn't move on?
or Lee Bradbury, or Corby Dale Grimes, or Chuck Price, or Paul Green, or Paul Kerr, or, I mean, the list goes on and on.
Some of these guys were abused twice, once by Pete Newman, and then again by another one.
So there's an active fraud lawsuit with the plaintiff who's a kid in Hendersonville, Tennessee, just down the road here.
And he was 17 when he settled.
His parents are the guardians, signed the settlement agreement.
They own an aged hardware store.
Like, they're not sophisticated on legal nuance, right?
So these NDAs, they get snuck in at the midnight hour.
It's under the guise of a confidentiality clause.
And you're thinking, well, I want this to be confidential because we don't want to talk about it.
And the kid doesn't really know what he's signing.
He's not even signing it.
It's his parents.
So this victim was told he would have to sue his parents to get out of the NDA.
I started talking about it.
