For argument's sake, assume a 1 million dollar settlement. That settlement quickly becomes a $400,000 settlement, or even less, depending*. Lynn is going to want her loan repayed, ~$83k or more, which is about what Piggy will pay for his NEW CAR! a nicely equipped 2025 Ford Mustang® Dark Horse™ Premium. There goes another ~$85k, leaving Piggy and his slattern with about $230k. The fights about the money will have already started. Piggy wants to wage the lawfare against all and sundry. Nikki does not. The divorce will be nasty and expensive --Piggy will see to it. By the time the dust has settled, Piggy may have ~$100k in the bank to fund his lawfare. Piggy won't sue Kiwi Farms. He will sue OnA Forums to get info on Boomia and a few others. He'll sue Diaper Dan. He'll have nothing left to sue the Farms. He could go in forma pauperis like any other lolcow, but I doubt that he would.
Cyndi Lauper sang it well, "Money Changes Everything". It will raw-dog the Man o' Pig harder than any Pest, or even Judge Holden, could.
*All number are rough estimates. I am guessing about what the lawyers will take. As I understand it, 1/3 is customary with contingency cases. The taxes on a such a settlement can be all over the place, depends on how Piggy takes the payout. The fed rate is 37% for the lump sum payout. State is 7.65%. I have no idea what the City will take. This is before deductions and other incomes. No matter, roughly 2/3rds or more of that money is gone before it gets into Piggy's greasy trotters. Tax rates do not get any gentler until you get below ~$200k. Even then, it's going to be unpleasant.
