harvard professor: Harvard professor representing Harvey Weinstein says people deemed 'vile' deserve defense It allocates about 14 million for legal fees to Weinstein associates who are named as defendants in the lawsuits, according to CNN. The remaining 30 million will go to alleged victims, creditors and former employees of the Weinstein Co., a source with direct knowledge of the settlement tells CNN. We now have an economic agreement in principle that's supported by the plaintiffs, the New York Attorney General's office the defendants and all the insurers, that if approved will provide significant compensation to victims, creditors of the estate, and allow the parties to avoid years of costly, time consuming, and, you know, uncertain litigation on all sides, Adam Harris, the attorney for Bob Weinstein, told Judge Mary Walrath of the US Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington. The attorneys told a Delaware bankruptcy judge Thursday they have a deal that will be paid by insurance policies -- not the disgraced movie mogul. Bob Weinstein is a co-founder of Weinstein Company and brother to Harvey Weinstein. The suit also alleges employee-victim accounts of sexual harassment, intimidation and other misconduct, the attorney general's office said in a statement.
