Starbucks has settled a lawsuit against former executive Paul Twohig, who was accused of violating a non-compete agreement when he accepted a job at bitter (har) rival Dunkin’ Donuts. As part of the settlement, Twohig must pay Starbucks $500,000 and in return he will be allowed to take part in the standard orientation program for Dunkin’ execs, but he then has to take a leave of absences until January 2010.
