Overall, framing this as a purely business matter rather than one of morals/ethics/justice might be useful.

If there are millions of dollars for a law suit with uncertain outcomes, there is even more for a certain quick outcome.
Anyway, there's nothing to be gained by treating matters as personal or evil regardless of what they might be.
