There are two aspects that could be tossed forward, kind of like tossing red meat in front of hungry guard dogs:

1. It is being said that none of the women in question chose to file a complaint with the Human Resources Department of the company in question, opting instead to get lawyers involved at the outset with trajectories aimed at financial targets (money).

2. It is being said that the women receiving huge amounts of money have agreed that, as a condition of accepting the large sums of money, the women have agreed to never say what action it was that they accuse the man of doing, even though they had the option, before agreeing to that, of stepping forward and telling in detail what they say the man did (though not then receiving any money).

I am sure that many readers are self-certain they can decipher the above to reach absolute certainty about exactly what happened. 

I am not such a reader. 

But I look forward to their robust exclamations of self-certainty under my post...
