Yeah, well, he may have been fired in a way that violated the terms of his contract, which didn't allow the board to fire him for sexual misconduct. So he's probably going to sue his old company into the stone age.

So if Bob is really behind all this, as some people believe, he's gained nothing material from it.

I don't think bob is behind this. The film industry protected Harvey from public scrutiny because they needed him. The journalism industry obviously doesn't give a crap, their job is to report the news, ie dig dirt. So the new york times has been after him for a while, nobody had the guts to come forward, Harvey has had some financial problems, so they threw him under the bus. It is a Dominos effect.

He resigned over the phone today without incident, his lawyer standing in for him in person at the actual meeting.

Maybe he feels that by not challenging the firing legally, it gives him a sliver of hope that he can spin it in his favor in future. ("I was never fired for impropriety...I resigned! Uh, resigned IMMEDIATELY when the whole misunderstanding arose!") (As he shovels more pasta into his drunk face in Rome.)
