Quick Glance: Supreme Court Examines Sackler Family's Role in Opioid Settlement
- The Biden administration is challenging a bankruptcy plan that allows the Sackler family to avoid future lawsuits related to the opioid epidemic.
- This is no ordinary bankruptcy case and involves the nationwide harm caused by the opioid crisis and the role played by Sackler-owned Purdue.
- As part of the proposed deal, which the Supreme Court put on hold in August, the Sackler family had agreed to pay around $6 billion to settle opioid-related claims, but only in return for a complete release from any liability in future cases.
- The overall settlement, including assets held by Purdue, is likely to be worth significantly more, with the reorganized company dedicated to tackling the impact of opioid abuse.
