Again ? A settlement reached this year has them (along with two other US based distributors) currently paying $6 billion over the next 18 years to several states that sued them for their role in fueling the opioid epidemic.
Edit: $6 billion is their portion, the total shared among the three entities is $19 billion.

Oh I'm not saying the filing is frivolous, I just assumed the last settlement encompassed all the states who sued and had standing.
