### Comment:
Who is agreeing to these deals? How is almost 200 million an appropriate amount of money for consultation from one person???

### REPLY:
Consulting fee is just what you call it when you pay someone and it's not regular compensation expense or a repayment of invested capital.  They're paying it in this case to get him to sign a non-compete and be generally cooperative while they attempt to extinguish the dumpster fire.
