Supreme Court Takes on Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Settlement

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday is taking on a challenge to the legality of OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma's controversial bankruptcy settlement. The agreement ‘would give billions of dollars to victims of the opioid epidemic while protecting members of the Sackler family, who owned the company, from current and future opioid-related civil lawsuits,’ according to CNN.
Under the deal, Purdue Pharma would no longer exist and a new company, Knoa Pharma, would be created in its place. Here’s a live look outside of the Supreme Court before the start of oral arguments.

Well; I don’t have any faith hood will come of it from this bought and sold Court.

Trump promised to smack Purdue down. Instead he gave them billions.

🤔 Hmmm. Let me guess. The Sackler family is going to be protected. I see some nice trips planned for the Justices. Lol

What is the court deciding? That point you avoided. This isn't bankruptcy court. What is the legal issue? Protecting the family? Changing the name? Bankruptcies happen all the time.

Perdue is the leading cause of the opioid crisis

I think the pharmaceutical industry is evil. It looks like they only want you to take their drugs, not help you. Get well from injuries.
