purdue argues that u.s. food and drug administration-approved labels for its opioids carried warnings about the risk of abuse and misuse associated with them. theresa sackler, the chair of the sackler trust and widow of late purdue pharma co-owner mortimer sackler, responded tuesday to the settlement with oklahoma, saying -- "i am deeply saddened by the addiction crisis in america and support the actions purdue pharma is taking to help tackle the situation, whilst still rejecting the false allegations made against the company and several members of the sackler family." the settlement comes as the sacklers face increasing outrage for the role in the opioid crisis. the sacklers are known worldwide for their patronage of the arts; and the sackler name appears in museums including the metropolitan museum in new york. but in the past week, following immense public pressure, the tate museums in london and the solomon r. guggenheim in new york have announced they will no longer accept money from the sacklers. the n

purdue survived a late comeback attempt.as it all for us in the "bleacher report." >> and greg nigel's perfect bracket is no more. he was the only one to make to the sweet 16. but his rub is over as is tennessee. but this game was a thriller. boilingler ma boilermakers built an 18 point lead before the huge comeback. tennessee leading by two with just seconds left in the game and that is when carson edwards catches the balling in the corner to try to win it, three no good, but refs called a foul, very questionable. edwards hits two of the three to force overtime and then purdue goes on to win to make to the elite eight for the first time since 2000. they will now face virginia in the elite eight. cavaliers holding on to beat oregon. one of the worst flops in tournament history. they get in each other's face and amine just falls to the ground like he's been shot or something. he must have got confused and thought this was a soccer match. the flop didn't work because both were called for a technical foul. florida state and gon

>> that was a careful consideration in our negotiations with purdue pharma. may 28th, purdue filing bankruptcy in anticipation of that lawsuit, threatened not only the lawsuit but our ability to get anything out of the company. after careful consideration. after hours of hours of negotiation, we came up with a settlement we think is good for the state, good for the country, establishing a national center for addiction treatment at oklahoma state university in tulsa. made a whole lot of sense to us. we have a credit facility, irrevocable letters of credit we established with a bank here in the state, to insure the cash part of this settle isment is secured going forward. >> you got the money? i'm sorry i didn't realize that, you got the money and it is being used in the state of oklahoma? >> we have got the funding locked down, stuart. stuart: are you going, with all these lawsuits, will they force the end of oxycontin? >> part of our settlement and part of the consent decree is that purdue pharma is prohibited from promoting, or marketing their annal guess i

i want to lay the baseline for why you went after purdue. any drug can be abused.gue the responsibility of the opioid epidemic falls so significantly on the shoulder of drug manufacturers in general and purd purdue pharma in particular? >> our evidence is going to show at trial that opioid manufacturers in a calculated and as far as i'm concerned devious way have defrauded and misrepresented the addictive qualities of analgesics for the couple decades. they will be held accountable for the damages they've causedd oklahomans. in regard to purdue pharma, there was a proposition to an entity modelling bankruptcy. the options we had were to perhaps allow them to go into bankruptcy or to try to work out something that would be in the best interest of the state and the country, and funding the oklahoma state university center for wellness and recovery that's already carved out a national footprint in addiction science, we thought was in the best interest of all concerned. we really feel that this is going to have an impact not only on the epidemic in oklahoma but nationa

how likely is it purdue will be allowed to file bankruptcy >> it's unclear.ou know, it would be very significant, because the bankruptcy experts we spoke with said it could potentially bring a halt to civil litigation, also make it much, much harder to plifs to get awards out of a bankruptcy court rather than a civil court, and it couldbe used in the negotiation about what awards could be it's not clear whether or not they'll actually do it right now. it's an offense on the table. >>> i wonder how much they could be on the hook to pay out? is there any indication from the early trials about the sums we are tacking about? >> there are no early trials what in and out. the lane cap is there's a huge case in cleveland, ohio, a federal case, about 1600 plaintiffs in federal lawsuits that are consolidated under one judge. what they are doing right now is they're all negotiating. the trial that's set to go forward in october, but the judge in the case has been very clear that he wants a settlement out of this. we don't know any of the details, because there's a gag
