I have no doubt that his involvement with these drugs at this point helped to influence the settlement in the hopes that it would make it all (the addictions included) go away.

I think so too - though at the time I thought the rehab thing was BS.
I also think that at the time he say History coming out and did not want to do anything to jeopardize it and the cash cow it turned out to be. The Double Album History sold 20 million (40 million in units) world wide and the tour was wildly successful. So, what was $22 million (some of which may have been covered by Sony who was heavily invested in the record - but who knows) in those terms?
