#1 So is the money actually in Gibson's bank account yet? When will that happen?

#2 I hope they donate the bulk of it to some organization that fights woke indoctrination.

MM,

IIRC - and I will cheerfully confess to error on ths - the lawyers are going to get about a third. So let's assume there's about $25M USD left.

The Gibsons weren't quite broke, but they can see it from there. The school won't openly badmouth them, but you can be sure they'll never get another dime from them - and the college was a solid and likely irreplacable chunk of their business. They are still strongly supported by the community, but they won't be enough to keep them in business forever.

I really think they're going to pay their bills, hold out for a decent interval, and then close the doors. I'd love to see them reopen someplace like Lorain or Amherst, north up the road on OH RT 58 -both of those towns would embrace them.

#4 Oberlin will win; they spent a lot of somebody else’s money to do so but they will still be there, unchanged, long after the bakery is gone.

#5 ^ No doubt, but some fun could be had before being overrun...

#6 Glen, Oberlin loss. At all levels. No more appeals and interest started

#7 Barbarians at the Gates, or, S--- Denial!

"Fresh pretzels!" A man and his trike...
Till somebody says he's a ----.
A boycott. He sues
And the slanderers lose
And, well, that was the end of the R----!

So they all skipped back to Munich hand in hand, got honest jobs as house painters and ladies maids and whatnot, and lived happily ever after. Because that guy won!

#8 "I'm sorry... I'm just drunk." Or would be if I drank. Sorry about the nasty tone.

#9 Oberlin deserves a bit of nastiness, Zenobia F. And you get drunk on words, which is easily as fun as the alcohol version, while costing considerably less. (Not to mention leaving more alcohol for those who appreciate it properly. Win-win!)
