Essentially you'd be paying him to stay home (or in the hotel room), be quiet, and co-operate with the investigation.

Releasing a public letter just adds to the potential damage to the organization would add to my case for termination.

Now I obviously don't know what they told Peters and what him and his lawyers are trying to get at, but to me, it seems like a really odd decision.
Actually the legal expert the Fan disagrees with you from what I remember of it.

You argue that the public letter adds to the potential damage to the organization. The lawyer was arguing that he has to apologize otherwise it looks even worse on the organization. Seemed like he was arguing there is more chance that Peters is dismissed with no pay if he doesn't apologize at any point.

The lawyer argues he's being apologetic and showing that he's cooperative with the investigation. Which means he's less likely to be fired with cause and thus lose the rest of his money.
