. But it seems odd that a person can pay money to make an international bribery case go away.
Bernie is the man, he made Formula One into the epic worldwide money making machine and marketing wonderland that it is. He can easily afford to pay a 100 million dollar settlement. I am NOT saying he is Guilty and I understand that is the law of the land - it just sounds a bit bizarre. But Bernie having to step down would be a disaster, so I am glad this appears to be about over.
Opinions WF.
