$17 Million Payout to Harvey Weinstein's Victims The payout will be divided among the more than 50 claimants, with the most serious claims, which could cause payouts of $500,000 or more. Weinstein's victims put to a vote the settlement with 39 voting in favor and eight opposed. A lawyer representing those who objected to the payout, Ruby Liu, said Monday that the settlement fund is meager. The deal also deprives her clients of the chance to pursue Bob Weinstein and the other directors in court. Liu said that there are more than monetary considerations that her clients want. "They are seeking a finding from a jury that holds all responsible parties accountable. That's not just Harvey Weinstein," Liu said in a Variety report.
