Anyone paying attention can see the writing on the wall that Monica Rial was lying. But with the way RT has been this year, the only thing that would get them to change their minds would be if God ripped the sky open, had the angelic host arrayed around them and God himself scream at them with such fury that the tectonic plates buckle under the onslaught. Even then they probably wouldn't change.
RT could get ahead of the mess by hiring Vic back and show they could be decent human beings if they made a fucking effort. So while they aren't being sued it would look better if they hired him back. It's the difference between "We hired him back because we were wrong" and "We hired him back because there was a gun pointed at our head and if we somehow bullet timed our way out that our fans would burn us to the ground."
As for Vic being replaced, that depends on the contract. I don't believe the Funimation contract made any guarantees about USING the audio tracks. Merely that the contractor would be paid for providing them.
So RT could settle because they know it is coming, issue an apology, postpone RWBY for a month while they redub.
Basically they have to sit down and do the calculus of:
1. Fight, risking lawyer fees, at least 1 million plus potential punitive damages all for woke points.
2. Settle with Vic. Pay him damages, the replacement voice actor probably had a 300 dollar pay check. Pay Vic 300. Pay some audio techs overtime to Redub. Total cost = SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN 1 MILLION DOLLARS.
Matt Hullum not controlling the voice actors is probably more important now because Funimations going to get sodomized with a red hot poker over the "Employee vs Independent Contractor" debate. So the catch 22 is that you hired terrible people that you have no control over but still associate with or you have control over them but are liable for whatever stupid shit they happen to say at any point.
