Purdue Pharma is poised to wrap up all liability for its role in the opioid crisis in a matter of weeks after its $8.3 billion settlement with the Justice Department cleared the way to resolve outstanding bankruptcy claims.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis clears the way for a Purdue bankruptcy plan to be finalized and to be put forward for a vote of creditors,\u201d said Hunter Shkolnik, a partner with Napoli Shkolnik, who is representing hundreds of local governments in the bankruptcy proceedings.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere isn\u2019t more money because there isn\u2019t more money in Purdue\u201d beyond the $10 billion on the table, he added.<\/p>\n
