His timing is good, considering the movie opening and the guy’s name recognition right now. I’d bet dollars to donuts he went to him first for hush money and was promptly shown the door, then decided to let a lawyer take 1/3 plus expenses.
17 isn’t exactly a kid either, my grandma and grandpa were married and had a kid on the way by the time they turned 18, he knew what he was doing IMHO.
$200k is still better than nothing I guess...
