Not sure how 141 IRO cases could take 80% of additional insurance money. If only $4 Billion more is recovered how could the average settlement be an average of 27 million.

The case has been filed in Texas Federal Court, Houser vs the Non-Settling Carriers. I believe there are 82 carriers involved.

Today is truly a historical day in the BSA Bankruptcy. Almost 59,000 survivors will see a path forward without having a tiny majority being able to throw up roadblocks. The plan itself is not perfect and has many warts but now we can see the end. I still would not vote yes for it, and I believe many who did now have regrets however, many of my fellow survivors would recover nothing for their suffering if the Supreme Court had decided to uphold the Lujan writ. You will see many posts about how little you may ultimately receive (some say less than 10%) but remember they have no crystal ball or insider information. the ultimate percentage amount will depend on the outcome of Houser vs the non-settling carriers. Try hard to not let the Debbie Downers rain on today's good news.

When Bankruptcy becomes a business option to avoid full fiscal responsibility it opens doors for those who wish to take advantage of people. If Bankruptcy was not used as a survival method by the BSA the only cases that would have prevailed in state courts would have been legitimate and kept away the unscrupulous players.

Many established reputations have been ruined over time when facts come to light. Not saying anyone here could be hiding something just denial of that possibility is a one-sided way of thought.

Why would it have to be a BSA hater? Why couldn't a perpetrator be someone who may have been a long-time scouting member who may be defended the BSA or called what had happened a sign of times and touted that BSA did all the right things? Maybe now they regretted what they had done and expressed remorse by extolling how bad they feel for survivors. Saying a perpetrator would claim to be a victim is just trying to cast bad light on survivors.

Would you please join Facebooks BOY SCOUT ABUSE and share this with the group.

well said Any survivor who is reading this and not sought mental health help I encourage you to do so. It has helped edge me closer to "normalcy" though none of us will ever be "recovered".

Do not feel sorry. There are far too many survivors that have the same emotional issues as you.

In that vein of thought, please stop sugar coating BSA's past and blatant coverups.

It took the Oregon Supreme Court to get the BSA to release the files. I wonder why,,,,nah, not really it was because the BSA did not want the public to view its dark sinister side.

The Slater Firm claims to represent 14,000 claimants and both Judge Houser and the Slater Firm have stated that the processing of all Slater Firms clients claims (except exigent claims) had not been reviewed since June of 2024.

I would like to add that the survivor/victims also call these files the "Perversion Files" and the reason being is these are the files that contain the name of the perverts who were part of the BSA who committed perverted acts upon us. Naming them "Ineligible Volunteer Files" is like putting lipstick on a pig and calling the pig a lady. Youth Protection should never be ignored or taken lightly, and I am glad you pointed that out. The ramification to victims is so devastating that even one incident is one too many.

And about 23% of all claims.

Yesterday it was revealed that 14.000 survivor claims where Slater Slater and Schulman were the representing attorneys have been on hold since June 2024. Judge Houser sent a letter to Judge Silverstein telling the court that all 14,000 claims will need to go thru an independent third-party review to check for validness. The Slater Firm has admitted to their clients that they have used improper procedures, and the trust used the wording "that there are procedural and factual problems in some of the Slater Firm’s claim submissions to the Trust.". The cost of the Independent Third-Party reviews will be borne by the Slater Firm. https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/4edc6640-5bce-4b58-99e2-e8cfb2c6484a_13103.pdf
