All I will comment on are CX lawyers. Squire, Patton, Boggs is a top notch law firm and their advice is extremely expensive. If they advised CX to settle, it is because Osmanski had a case. This isn't the first time CX has been advised by this firm to settle in the US, and it has cost CX millions of USD. I just wish one of these cases would go to trial someday and let the chips fall where they may in a very public resolution and settlement.
CX lies, cheats, and steals. In their minds, all of that is ok as long as they don't get caught or held accountable. Ethics are completely devoid at CX. I really wish I had all these years in at a better company, but it is cheaper (I hope) to love the one you are with than to start over. Only time will tell...
