Supreme Court to Decide on Bankruptcy Settlement

The Supreme Court is set to decide on a controversial bankruptcy settlement involving Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family. The settlement, which requires Purdue Pharma to pay $6 billion for addiction treatment and relief efforts while shielding the Sackler family from further legal claims, has sparked debate. Proponents argue that the settlement will help fight addiction, while critics believe that it lets the architects of the opioid epidemic off the hook. The Supreme Court's role is to determine if bankruptcy courts have the authority to strip victims of their right to sue, potentially impacting future bankruptcy cases.
