"The global settlement announced today involves the company pleading guilty to three felony counts for defrauding the United States and violating the Anti-Kickback Statute from 2009 to 2017. In addition to agreeing to plead guilty to these three felony counts, the company has agreed to a $3.544 billion criminal fine and a $2 billion criminal forfeiture amount. Further, to resolve its civil liability, Purdue Pharma has agreed to $2.8 billion in damages to the United States. The company is in bankruptcy, so the corporate resolution is subject to the bankruptcy court’s approval. If approved, this will be a corporate settlement totaling more than $8.3 billion. Additionally, members of the Sackler family have agreed to pay $225 million in a civil settlement that will provide civil releases only."

Not near enough, and nobody (again) is going to jail.

So where is all this money going? Strait into the swamp?

A close friend lost his son to this about 5 years ago. Can anyone tell if he can make a claim against this settlement money?
