There's always something discomforting about settlement agreements with non-disclosure clauses. They all have them, but it suggests that it was all about the money.
The msm made a victim and a hero out of Dr. Dao by showing the video of him being dragged off a plane. One radio commentator said he was removed from the plane then came back on displaying facial injuries. We don't know how he got the injuries -- did the security officers beat him up? Did he inflict the injuries on himself?
In any event, his lawyers parlayed the bad publicity for United into what we have to guess was a pretty big settlement. But they won't disclose the amount, obviously because of a non-disclosure clause in the contract.
I call on Dr. Dao to disclose the amount. United would ask him to give the money back. He could refuse, like he did when they asked him to get off the plane. Maybe he'll retain that hero status. People are always saying, "It's not about the money." But he could demonstrate that it wasn't about the money. Otherwise, we are left to surmise that it was about the money.
