"Green may not make your Chrsitmas card list, but he is entitled to the same protection of the court as anyone else."

Quite. But Hain has demonstrated that all the money in the world can't buy you immunity from the public gaze and, ultimately, from justice. He's done us an amazing service. And if you haven't got the money you can't buy the protection that Green could buy. He spent millions on those NDAs and on getting that injunction. So your "anyone else" point falls.
