        I thought they were paid directly to the U.S. Treasury, like tax payments, & become general funds. Wrong?

        The DB case was a Citizens case. Pull the string on who negotiated this deal and OUT their names to the Public. Poss Investigation on this.

        @RobinEnochs They go into the General Fund of the Treasury. GAO has called the General Fund unauditable bc no records.
