    Reynolds American (RAI -4%) confirms in a 10-Q filing with the SEC a payment of $5M to Star Scientific (STSI -16.6%) in relation to the settlement of a patent case. The number is well-below what Star Scientific investors were expecting to see come into the company's coffers.

    That could not be the final payment and maybe only a partial payment for attorney fees. Lets face it, STSI, would not settle for $5m with a law suit that goes back to 2001.

    There are no punitive damages in a settlement!

    The way it is worded, coupled with the hit piece that Adam Fuerstein wrote on The Street, it shows one that this is not all that Star Scientific will be receiving. That was the Bear case all along. They have covered a lot of their position by purchasing the call options from November through January. Now, why would they do that if there was nothing more on the upside for Star?
