The deal includes $8.3 billion in penalties and forfeitures, but the company is on the hook for a direct payment to the federal government of only a fraction of that, $225 million. It would pay the smaller amount as long as it executes a settlement moving through federal bankruptcy court with state and local governments and other entities suing it over the toll of the opioid epidemic.

So 5 billion in the black.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

Great show but I don’t think I plagiarized it. Wouldn’t be ashamed if I did either.

Do you remember what episode?

Speaking of TV I’ve been slowly going through season one of Hannibal. Kind of boring frankly but just enough to keep me on for 8-9 episodes.

I wish there was more classic slash and dash and less goth. Plus needs some titties.

3/5

I think you said you watched it. Opinion?

I think they're just paying the $225 million with the $8.3 billion as sort of a suspended sentence.

It's decent and Hannibal is played well but the artiness tries way too hard.

There’s so many stories like. Petty crime doesn’t pay but big ass crime sure do.
