One can never really know what the various forms of inside/outside pressure have on the state of the world, but I would be more than a bit surprised if dday didn't have a nontrivial impact on the foreclosure fraud settlement, given my brief glimpses of the shadows on the cave walls. That isn't to say it's awesome and he's thrilled with it, just that without him (and others) it would've happened anyway and been a hell of a lot worse.
And Toot for pointing out that settlement details don't actually exist.
