So we agree that they have something to hide. And you seem to be
contradicting yourself, sometimes arguing they have nothing to hide,
sometimes conceding that they do.
There may be good reasons to hide the monetary amount. If it's large
(e.g., SFLC gets $10 million), it makes the defendant look bad (akin to
admitting wrong-doing) and may also make the SFLC look bad (greedy). If
it's small (e.g., SFLC gets $50), if makes the SFLC look bad (it means
the defendant essentially got away with wrong-doing and lost nothing
when caught.
But they could have redacted the amount and published the rest. There
must be more -- enough that a few redactions would not suffice.
