Settliement?

Scanning the Sci/Tech category of Google News, I came across this headline: "Facebook's '$65m settliement' might be worth a lot less".

Yes, I know, it was the spelling that caught my attention too.

Of course typos in the headline are always embarrassing (just take a look at this wall of shame).  Since it was in quotes, however, I thought that perhaps I'd jumped to conclusions.  Surely the journalist was simply pointing out someone else's bad spelling.  Wouldn't that be delicious - a blatant spelling error in a statement about a college networking site, in itself a sort of writing cesspool of bad spelling, poor grammar, slang, and all the worst of the texting social culture that genre of site is supposed to appeal to.  In other words, I was hoping this headline was aiming for something akin to this one.

It would've been terribly entertaining if that had been the case, but it was my first assumption - that someone forgot to proof-read - which was correct.  That is unless the typo was quoted from something else and simply not mentioned anywhere in the article except for the headline, in which case I would take issue with the lack of explanation for an apparent error on the reporter's part.

I had a few other minor issues with the article itself :

"A settlement by Facebook's founder to college classmates..."  

Shouldn't it read "A settlement between Facebook's founder and his college classmates..." or something similar?  You don't "make a settlement to" do you?  

And the final graph should have been deleted or placed earlier in the story, such as under the graph that first mentions the AP's "sleuthing", versus at the very end, where I've already forgotten about it.
