The difference in the two cases is that the talc case came to jury verdict, and the DECN case will be settled. The talc case was between an injured class vs. a manufacturer, the DECN case is a battle between two companies. J&J has a brand to protect, and Mr. Berman understands that and probably is thinking that some day he will have a brand to protect too. Settlements, no matter what the riff-raff tell you on iHub, are almost always kept confidential by the courts upon request by the side paying the money, sometimes for 20 years.
There will be several people on this board who try to convince you of the same. If they do, just respond to their posts by asking them how many court cases of this type have they managed in their careers, and how many settlements came to a public announcement of the settlement amount. Most of these iHub people don't own shares, they're just amateur negative naboobs looking to cause trouble. Stock traders who trade for their own accounts generally know very little about how companies operate. Why? Because if you are trading stocks for your own account, you probably never rose to a level of prominence at the company you might have worked at, or else you would be at work during the trading day earning a good salary.
Grasshopper, I know this goes against most of everything you stand for, but confidential settlements are better for everyone; companies, employees, shareholders, and judges.
Have you seen the iHub thread this morning. Today the crazies are complaining about Mr. Berman's choice of public news service he has chosen. That's what happens when people like that riff-raff go unchecked.
