😢I am also in this situation. I was a tri-athlete at 16 & it ended up sending me down a path… a PATH I would have NEVER had access to without the MANY doctors making me systematically a addict to my prescription medication! & many with DEADLY interactions… I picked myself up & now can hold my head high! But they will never pay the VICTIMS when the GOVERNMENT wants to stop that compensation. These BILLIONAIRES deserve the worst 🙏🏼😢💔

By the time I receive my money i will properly have died of old age this has gone on way to long!

[@jacksparrow3003]

yea i think they just keep stalling i found out that in profits they make 11billion a year so since the beginning they have have made what 80billion. My lawyer letters are just depressing

[@ronshamilton9503]

Consult attourney to leave in tact the transfer of claims to your estate.

[@brianastclaire5445]

What does that mean if you don't mind me asking because I have been waiting for quite some time as well and I feel like there is a chance that I will not see it in my lifetime but I have one daughter whom I would love for her to receive it especially because this whole thing I've been going through has also effected her greatly and she deserves to have the funds herself so she's able to say that her mama at the very least did try to make our lives better beyond the treatment and sobriety sorry for such a long comment and I think u dearly for your time lol ​@@ronshamilton9503

[@richardshoemaker5997]

I have now buried two children and still fighting this because of breaking my back they need to stop and give back what they have stolen

[@elisa737m4]

I'm in the same boat and you're exactly right 💯💯

[@elisa737m4]

Struggling for the past 30 years

[@elisa737m4]

And I am so sorry about your children 💔💔

[@tishsmiddy71]

I’m so sorry they can’t

[@JacalynRush]

I was prescribed this new wonder drug for 8years said that there was no addiction my kidneys are failing I never new what addiction was .No one told me that it would damage my kidneys. But once again why should any State or government should reap the rewards of victims such of my self .what did any State lose

[@DaniiMarie333]

How are they not in prision for killing my husband? And so many others.....

[@randytrask2789]

what about older claiments! i will be deadi in 2yrs! Lets get this done please!!!!! I have had opioids pushed at me sense first time i injured my self! Rehab clinics were handing out OXYCONTIN! Like it was Candy!

[@Elenavkuznetcova]

What another options did you have?

[@sheilasheriff7990]

The only ones who will receive any payouts will go to families that theses meds caused a lose of life and the rest will receive. .04 cents on the dollar and will not be forced to payout from overseas accounts my question is when were those accounts opened

[@AmandaBella100]

I think they were opened in the years leading up to the bankruptcy

[@k333rl]

Stop bailing them out.

[@theblindref4u]

The money thats "allocated " who gets the interest?

[@magikmycology6660]

We are going to end up with nothing anyway - tell me, is half of 50k worth 17 years of my life and parental rights over my first born son? Give me a break 🙄 THANKFULLY having my son gave me the strength to get sober - i have four years clean, but not in enough time for the State of Arizona to not pawn out my kid to some welfare collecting crackhead. Thanks 'Justice' system!

[@AmandaBella100]

Did you not have any family for your child to go to?

[@tishsmiddy71]

So going to AA and get you a sponsor and since there’s welfare involved talking to a caseworker to see what you can do is not an option since you’ve been four years clean I’m just trying to help because four years clean is something to be proud of

[@kennethostrowski8215]

The people who they hurt and lost everything like myself lost my family a newborn daughter my marriage and my career and my house all because i got and received there meds ...we should come first .Now i have a life long fight

[@Wydeedo]

Did anyone ask how much money the victims’ lawyers will get from this deal?

[@joshuamatkin8306]

They should amend the bankruptcy code to require parties requesting release protection that have put all assets on table (this includes third parties like the Sacklers).

[@fransiscomestres3449]

I ended in a crazy people house for weeks due to use of oxicodone

[@jasonralston6610]

For the Justices to read: Justice is the quality of being fair, impartial, or right in accordance with the rules of lawor 123. It can also refer to the administration of law or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments 1. The concept of justice is often associated with the ideal of just dealing or 1. I hope you "Justices can see the human beings that have lost their family members, careers, jobs, and body parts from surgeries they didn't need to get more Oxycontin. We set here hoping to give 30 percent of any settlement we get to the Law firm and then another 20 to 30 percent to the goverment in taxes. There are people who posted on this board that are hoping to get some money back from all they have lost to keep themselves out of bankruptcy court!

[@DaniiMarie333]

3% to 97% they loose. The only reason theres a case IS THEIR VICTIMS.

[@ConSitution-e1z]

loop holes with esim identy

[@patrickwaterman1038]

I was in a hospital and almost died from this poison I have severe brain damage and they read me my last rights nobody expected me to survive but I was committed to a home to learn how to talk and walk and control my body functions and I don’t wish this hell on my worst enemy

[@AmandaBella100]

OxyContin ruined my life. At a time when our country turned a blind eye to the suffering and plight of the victims. I have seen others die. OxyContin systematically made me addicted. And then blamed me for the addiction that they marketed. This is an ultimate form of gaslighting. I will never see a penny of any of these proceedings, no matter the outcome.

The lies ! They told , ❤

[@AmandaBella100]

Money talks, BS walks

[@Vib.H]

Isn't there a law for how greedy one is allowed to be? If not, then one should be made!

[@KiiraJensen]

And what happens to all the people that got addicted AFTER 2017. They don’t count?

[@jenniferlicari6544]

I am disgusted 🤮 my life is a struggle still to this day…. This ruined my brain,my body, everything you are fighting for does it really help me the victim n other victims…. Why cant it be so cut n dry Why is oxycodone malikfroft ,already ahead of oxycotin case and still no money paid back I had no insurance and it cost me thousands of dollars for a medication that had no generic And when i tried to stop i felt like death and still do god help us!!!

[@Wydeedo]

My family members objected to this “release.” The deal lacks real accountability for those who took so many lives-it’s a deal, really, at the mercy of the Sacklers

[@kathrynnorman778]

WTF ...a holes are everywhere 😢

[@kerryann2036]

So you are in that bunch of people that are holding things up for the rest of us. We will never get what we lost back and at this point anything we can get will help our lives out. Sure would we like more? Yes but we've suffered enough. Let the people who deserve something get it.

[@Wydeedo]

@@kerryann2036 My family has lost one person from the opioid epidemic and has two folks in the midst of the same; we don’t need a lecture from you on what an appropriate response is from our end-we want justice, not some amount less than $50,000 (while the Lawyers rake in millions).

[@ConSitution-e1z]

jesus everyone has worked so hard to derail me teck feds gov cases go on strip all my rights

[@cynthiahendrix8374]

I cant fight this sickness I just can't function because of these opiates DEAR GOD HELP

[@AmandaBella100]

Because of the Sacklers, I now keep an AED and supply of Narcan in my home.

[@T.Tuxedo]

Criticizing the Sackler family is AuntieSemantic™.

[@kerryann2036]

Are you just trying to tell people they are Jews?

[@tishsmiddy71]

Con , manipulation I would say

[@patrickwaterman1038]

I would like to know I’m sure like everybody else when the proceeds will be distributed hopefully it will be before I die

[@jasonralston6610]

We the trustee have absolute POWER!!! Congress gives me permission!. LOL.... Dude. Your standing in the way of progress to ensure that people Respect My Authorit!!!! (Cartman "SouthPark,", 2006)

[@AmandaBella100]

[@DaniiMarie333]

[@T.Tuxedo]

@@DaniiMarie333 Correct.

[@T.Tuxedo]

@@AmandaBella100 Wrong answer, although they are known to impersonate us when it is to their advantage. Sneaky little gremlins, aren't they?

[@threetimeslady123]

It doesn’t matter!!!! It’s the LYING ACTION OF SAYING THESE OPIATES would not be addicting!!!! THAT TOOK OUR LIFE AWAY
