Did the guy blow through his settlement money ?
It sounds like it has nothing to do with the settlement. It has to do with the recent film not complying with the settlement.
my ex wife had a cousin who played rythm guitar for the band "Survivor" and had the Gold record for "Eye of the Tiger" that she bought from him for $300.
He used to call her all the time begging for money. He got $4 million dollars lump sum for "Eye of the Tiger", but she said he blew through it in about 2 years on coke and coke whores in Santa Monica , living on the streets now, I offered to let him stay with us to get on his feet, but she said no way, hes a thief and would rob us blind
