The new settlement reopens a path to ending Purdue’s chapter 11 case, the longest and costliest corporate bankruptcy stemming from the U.S. opioid epidemic.

The Office of the Attorney General came to a $7.4 billion settlement with the Sackler family and their company, Purdue Pharma, over their actions leading up to the opioid crisis, which has killed several hundreds of thousands of people in the last two decades.

The deal comes after the Supreme Court blocked a controversial bankruptcy plan for Purdue that shielded Sackler family members from future lawsuits.
