really laid out the roadmap for how perdue did what it did. attorneys were arguing for very extensive felony convictions. ultimately, purdue used its muscle to go above those attorneys and have the charges knocked way back to misdemeanors a a fine. most importantly, and this gets to the current episode, they were able to seal all of the records relating to the prosecution. the most important evidence was buried which meant all of us, the public could not see what had really happened, in order to be able to stop it. the one bit of good news in the settlement, and there is not much good news because they are not being held financially or criminally accountable, but the one bit of good news is a huge treasure trove of documents will be released. at least to prevent the next episode from happening agai we can study those documents and see exactly how it was that perdue did what it did. amy: people shouldn't forget that the sacklers sponsored so much of the arts, not only in new york but around the country. you have sackler galleries at all of the

the new plan calls for perdue and the sackler family to pay millions more for their roles and feeling the hope you're crisis. however, the satler's would remain shielded from litigation tied to it. so joining us now to discuss the latest journalists, molly barrows, contributor with america's lawyer. now molly, what are some of the terms of the settlement? i mean, what do we know so far? right, well you remember that pretty filed for bankruptcy, 2019 because they were facing 3000 lawsuits. and most of those are from governmental bodies, whether it's state local, you name it tribes. and so you had a lot of different people at the table trying to get different resources for their state, for their people that they are representing. so this has been an ongoing negotiating process and i'll say all that to say this, they've been trying to get more money out of the sackler family this entire time. and they feel like, i believe that's why you're seeing more state attorneys general coming to terms agreeing these terms that i'm about to tell you about. because they're just, it's been an ongoing
