Endo Health Solutions, a suburban Philadelphia company, entered a guilty plea tied to a $1.5 billion fine for their marketing of opioid products that misrepresented safety.
Judge Linda Parker expressed confusion during sentencing about how Endo's facing liability shifted from $1 billion to only $200 million, questioning the reasoning behind such a reduction.
Federal prosecutor Benjamin Cornfeld clarified that Endo's reduced fine stemmed from their dire financial state, emphasizing that 'there are limited funds available because the debtors were in bankruptcy.'
