per m$nbc
just think how the right would frame this if Hillary had won and settled a lawsuit for 25 million dollars....?
so he made 40 million and got out by paying 25 million....not a bad scam.
The source asked not be identified because the agreement was not yet final.
Schneiderman has said over 5,000 students across the country were defrauded out of about $40 million.
The $25 million settlement agreement would include roughly $4 million to resolve Schneiderman's claims, the source said. Lawyers for the students were not planning to seek attorneys fees, but reimbursement for costs.

So it's a dime on the dollar before costs.

I am hearten by my suspicion that he didn't make $25 million off this scam. I read that they had refunded some tuition already and he's out lawyer's fees.
Of course, as others have pointed out, he may not even be paying this himself.
