Feel like this is an example of them working exactly they way they should. I could take the 1000 and not say anything or not take the 1000 and say anything I want.

No, it should be take the money or we go to court, not you never get to tell anyone what happened. They are literally buying silence(innocence).

It's 100% bullshit and the fact that it being abused is now the status quo shows it needs to be done away with.
