What I don’t get is… what exactly is the difference between a “non-disclosure agreement” (NDA) and “hush money”? One is common place in corporate America as well as many court settlements… the other is apparently suspicious, deplorable and highly illegal… for the life of me I can’t tell the difference. The only difference I can tell is a highly subjective determination of whether one wants to excuse/justify an individual/organization’s behaviors or if one wants to vilifying and portray their actions in a negative light.
