The last thing is, from what I read, a part of the verdict's settlement. Should increase the value of an un-redacted copy by at least 10 cents. And $500K of that 1.8M is specifically on the publisher (covered by their insurance) on the due-diligence issue.

Ventura got what he wanted. I bet those TV, film, and speaking offers will come rolling back in now.
