I think those funds should be given to the employee harmed by the harassment. But somehow I think they'll just fill Bungie's coffers.

Crazy story. Sounds like that wasn't a punitive amount, that's how much the cost Bungie. They hired executive protection services for the employee, investigators, lawyers (obviously)...
