Supreme Court blocks $6 billion Purdue Pharma opioid settlement and will hear case this fall
The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked Purdue Pharma from going forward with bankruptcy proceedings, which the Biden administration has called an “unprecedented” arrangement that would ultimately offer the Sackler family broad protection from opioid-related civil claims.
Rules for thee
I think the fact that SCOTUS isn't allowing the deal to go through speaks against the idea that the Sacklers are going to be allowed to be treated as though they are above the law.
They are above the law. They have been gutting the company prior to the bankruptcy. If anything the state will just create a new deal that satisfies the needs of the supreme court and the owners of the company rather than the people they have hurt. Sorry to say the article doesn't mention why the supreme court blocked the deal
