And what's the long term cost? If Jon is proven a liar here, he will lose a lot of fans and a lot of respect. His career will suffer for it.
Jon is a smart businessman and a proud man. He will have a longer term view than the next US leg of the tour.

You have good points and valid questions. But you said, "they have nothing to gain..." and as I see it, they do. They can't afford the bad publicity of Richie leaving...to those who go to shows that don't follow BJ news closely -the majority of those in the crowds-, especially when ticket sales aren't doing so hot. I'm not an attorney, but people are being sold tickets to a Bon Jovi show and without Richie, they are not getting what they paid for. I imagine they want to keep this as quiet as possible.
As far as long term goes, they can keep it quiet forever and leave it as a personal problem with Richie, thus not losing any credibility. I don't know... I could be way off.
