    On investigation, out of my faulty memory.

    I have no idea where that figure came from, but it was the one lodged in my brain for the “settlement”/bribe that Paramount paid Trump.

    Ah well…

      Fair enough - none of this should diminish the fact that the $16 million “legal settlement” from the former owners of the company was pretty definitely a bribe.

      And Skydance is alleged to have promised the government free advertising in the form of “PSAs,” which I don’t think they’ve confirmed or denied.
