Wow, they got off half price compared to CVS and Walgreens, who each paid (very roughly) $6B each. It paid off big to settle independently.

They all were caught, with many isolated incidences, of knowingly accepting forged prescriptions and stacks of scripts from pill-mill doctors, despite their legal duties, and pushing for more profits.

They literally were the largest drug dealers in the world and just got a tiny slap on the wrist.
