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.

Did you read the article? Bungie claim 380K USD as investigation expenses, amd only 25K in statutory damages and then 80K or so in legal fees.

If they led an investigation themselves then this already is doing a lot in favor of the employee. And possibly means police did not do their job.

Hopefully this piece of shit won't retaliate.
