This is why people, or the company they work for, should never pay off accusers if there was no wrongdoing.
The fact that there were at least 2 settlements makes Cain look guilty. It’s won’t even matter if he did absolutely nothing wrong, people will wonder why the National Restaurant Association paid off the 2 “victims” if Herman had done nothing wrong.
Sometimes, if the claims are covered by insurance, it is the insurance carrier that dictates that a settlement be reached and paid..the company has no choice.
