2. Westinghouse paid Tesla a huge lump sum, shares and royalties for his patents

and Tesla himself said this about Westinghouse:

“George Westinghouse was, in my opinion, the only man on this globe who could take my alternating-current system under the circumstances then existing and win the battle against prejudice and money power,” said Tesla later in life. “He was one of the world’s true noblemen, of whom America may well be proud and to whom humanity owes an immense debt of gratitude.”

As I recall, Edison and others, not Westinghouse were the bad guys regarding Tesla.
