The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.

A $7 Billion Opioid Reckoning, and Trump’s Defense of the Saudi Crown Prince
Judge to Approve Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy, Releasing Billions for Opioid Plaintiffs
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/health/purdue-sacklers-settlement.html
The deal is among the largest in a series of opioid settlements brought by state & local governments against drugmakers, wholesalers & pharmacies that totaled about $50 billion. It could close a long chapter — & maybe the entire book — on a legal odyssey over efforts to hold the company to account for its role in an #OpioidCrisis connected to 900,000 deaths in the U.S. since 1999, including deaths from #heroin & illicit #fentanyl.
The deal overseen by US Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane would require members of the #Sackler family who own the company to contribute up to $7 billion & give up ownership. The new agreement replaces one #SCOTUS rejected last year, finding it would have improperly protected members of the family against future lawsuits. The judge said he would explain his decision in a hearing Tuesday.
Judge says he'll approve opioid settlement with #OxyContin maker #Purdue & #Sackler family
A federal bankruptcy court judge on Friday said he will approve OxyContin-maker #PurduePharma’s latest deal to settle thousands of lawsuits over the toll of #opioids that includes some money for thousands of victims of the epidemic.

[05:45] De bermudadriehoek van talent: waarom veelbelovende twintigers kiezen voor betekenisloze banen op de Zuidas
Twee jaar geleden had ik een contract van consultancybureau McKinsey in handen — een heilige graal voor talloze ambitieuze leeftijdsgenoten. Hoe lukt het consultancybureaus, banken en advocatenkantoren om zoveel jongeren te strikken? Wat winnen deze sectoren, en wat verliezen wij als samenleving?
Illustraties door Luka van Diepen (voor De Correspondent).
In 1996 bracht geneesmiddelenbedrijf Purdue Pharma een nieuw medicijn op de Amerikaanse markt. OxyContin werd neergezet als een veilig en effectief middel tegen chronische pijn. Eén tablet bij zonsopgang, de tweede net voor het slapengaan, en je zou nooit meer last hebben van deze klachten.

Even though this settlement deal represents nearly 2/3 of the Sackler's wealth, they will still be billionaires.
