> Well, they covered that too. "As part of the deal [to get his money back], he agreed not to pursue legal action against the government". I think that doesn't cover the payment itself, the gov. entity just recognized the debt but he needs to collect. It he wants to enforce collection, he'll need to get a court order (not really that knowledgeable about the US system, so maybe he already have the right to enforce collection).
