Not true! But if you'd like this to be true bug your legislator to outlaw "gag agreements" in court settlements as being against the public interest. Right now you just can't tell whether or not there are big payoffs being made to keep complaints quiet in all sorts of industries. It's become standard to pay off plaintiffs providing they agree never to disclose the amount of settlement or even that they had a complaint in the first place. Good for the plaintiff, good for the offending company, but definately bad for all the rest of us. And an abuse of the court systems we all pay for.
