Sacklers has reached a tentative settlement agreement with several state attorneys general on its role in the US opioid crisis. The deal could remove Purdue from the first federal trial linked to the epidemic, set for their day . Purdue must file for structured bankruptcy and, over time, pay $ 3bn , including around $ 1.5bn directly from the Sackler family. In addition, the Sacklers must surrender ownership of Purdue and sell Mundipharma for $ 12bn . How any money from the settlement would be divided among all the entities is not entirely clear. While some lawyers said the deal was the "quickest and surest" way of securing compensation, others pledged to continue the legal battle.
