    There are tons of examples counter to your claim.

    A lot of the settlements probably don’t even get reported on at the request of the city in question.

      Yeah, 10 million might be a stretch. But the city I used to work in would immediately settle for 250k for something like that. Lawyers are expensive, and losing is more expensive
