I don't think this is obvious at all. Maybe she simply wanted to be no longer considered a criminal wanted by the United States government. That's a huge incentive to settle when you can, especially when the settlement is for peanuts relative to your company's revenue. The US legalization story could have just been PR spin, since they were pissing off a lot of customers.
