This is the kind of settlement that really bothers me.  If you get upset because big business is going over seas you need only look at this type of bribe paying to see why.  If they spent 200,000 to buy protected land because they infringed on protected land I could understand.  This is straight out Blackmail.  How far of a stretch is it for companies to pay officials campaign contributions to get laws passed that help them ?
