Daughter's Facebook Brag Costs Her Family $80,000

6. Ouch. But they voided it because HE told his daughter. Not directly because of her comment.

My immediate thought after reading the OP was "How can a confidentiality agreement bind an adult child who is not party to the lawsuit?"

Turned out that it didn't. Snay told his daughter that they won. The school successfully argued that telling his child about the settlement was itself a violation of the settlement agreement.

The Facebook post was merely the avenue through which they discovered the violation. They didn't take the money away because of HER comment, but because HER comment revealed her FATHERS violation of the agreement.

So, technically, he lost the money himself. His daughter just failed to cover up her dads violation.
