[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 3912877, member: 23516"] For one, this was a cheap payoff. For two, the drug case so poor that the judge gave the prosecutors grief for even filing it, noting (among other things) that FedEx went above and beyond to work with authorities to combat the problem and that the government wouldn't cooperate. For three, FDX couldn't afford for a precedent to be set. For example, Bill orders his pills from IllegalOptiates-R-Us.com, FedEx delivers them, and Bill OD's or commits a crime while under the influence - whatever. If FedEx had settled then they could have been held liable to some degree of whatever happened. There was no way in Hell they would have settled that one outside a of a guarantee that they would be immune to any liability, and even then they probably wouldn't have settled. [/QUOTE]
