Nearly two weeks after the US Supreme Court tossed out a $6 billion bankruptcy settlement agreed upon by the Sackler family to address claims that the OxyContin manufacturer fueled America’s opioid crisis, the court-appointed committee of Purdue creditors on Monday asked a US bankruptcy court if they could sue individual Sackler family members. The creditors allege that the Sacklers illegally transferred billions of dollars to offshore private trusts before Purdue’s 2019 bankruptcy filing.

As many as four out of 10 Canadians say it is “important” to know if a vehicle they’re interested in purchasing is more likely to be targeted by thieves, according to a new Nanos Research survey.
