Yet they paid 7 million dollars for his silence?

Then Uber should just close shop because they are willing to pay every accuser. Who is not going to believe the accusers over Uber....

It's not unreasonable for companies to avoid litigation by settling. Given that the timeframe of this coincides with Uber's darkest periods, it may have been operating out of a position of weakness.

It's entirely unreasonable to pay that much, especially when you haven't validated it yourself.
