Any sensible person would go straight to a lawyer and say "I want that SOB to take 50% and walk away free and clear. No muss. No fuss. No ties. Give him $95M and tell him to leave me alone."

She can have the other $95M and not have to worry about him. It ought to be enough.

Now, if he gets $95M and somehow comes around and acts like he is entitled to more, I'd shoot the bastard.

I would offer him no more than about 8 or 10 million.

Remember, if you take the net present value of your winnings, it is only about 62%, and you pay 35% federal tax. and 4.9% Idaho income tax.

Since his claim is doubtful, and he is not the sharpest knife, he would probably take it.
