A civil settlement cannot include a condition prohibiting someone from testifying or otherwise cooperating with a criminal investigation, and one which purported to do so would be void.

Depends on how much the witness wants to be paid, IMO.

Void as in not enforceable in court, of course.

Void as in the witness still gets paid? Depends on how it’s structured.
