Good News! The ugly legal situation I've been involved in is settling. And I'm getting $

9 hours of mediation and then lots of drinking/partying so I'm still feeling it.
The mediator really hammered into the other side how huge their downside was and that I had taken the high road so far, but there were other things I could do. The opposing lawyer is really pissed because it seems he was working on contingency, and since his client isn't getting anything beyond what she already stole, he's getting zip.
Unfortunately, he told me my upside was about 200K and it would cost me at least 100K to go to trial, without a guaranteed result, so settling for my expected value without the risk of a trial seems like a good deal to me.
Of course there are t's to cross and all that, but it looks like I get a nice chunk of change out of it.
