Seems quite distant to me.
Regarding this particular question, the idea of "going to far" should be replaced with guilty, not guilty, or settle out of court.
In hindsight I agree that would have improved on the form. I prefer bidding on multiple choice questions.
The words 'going too far and' can be omitted from the question without changing the meaning. The remaining sentence makes it clear that the outcome can only be determined as yes if a guilty verdict is reached or if an out of court settlement is reached and the terms are released and we can determine a conclusion by referring to them.
#6: I don't know how this will be settled if the case is settled.
If they settle out of court we can analyze it then.
If after this case, media no longer finds it necessary to used the word 'alleged', I think this would be proof that the company did "go too far".
These were my thoughts when developing this question. I hope that clarifies things.
