Curt Schilling Et Al to Settle Part of 38 Studios Lawsuit

Curt Schilling, three other defendants and Starr Indemnity & Liability Co. have agreed to "participate" in their part of a $2.5M settlement filed by the State of Rhode Island . The settlement will still need court approval. The lawsuit was filed after 38 Studios failed to make a $1.1M interest payment and subsequently declared bankruptcy a month later. According to the published report, Rhode Island has recouped approximately $45M of the $75M in bonds issued at the time of the loan.

The commerce corporation has sued several entities, including investment banks, over the deal, which cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

At the time, Schilling took to social media to ridicule the investigation as a waste of money.
