We received the phone call about the accident. Me and his mother
went as soon as possible to the US. There his mother took a
lawyer, the made a contract.
Back in Belgium he made clear that he would settle. We (and our
Belgian lawyer) made clear that we wanted to go to court. We
would not want to settle for the amount.
He has withdraw the money on an account in Belgium and that was it.
So yes he received the money.
