Boy Scouts Of America Bankruptcy

As many of you may know by now, the Boy Scouts of America filed bankruptcy this morning over the mounting financial toll racking up from ongoing sexual abuse claims being filed against them. This sex-abuse-fueled bankruptcy will be big as state laws have recently changed in both New York and California; where victims going back 50-60 years can come forward and file claims for sexual abuse which occurred decades ago.

It may come as no big surprise to some then that there was an alarming amount of sexual abuse occurrences within the Boy Scouts of America and that is now coming back to haunt them tenfold.

There is also another connection with the Boy Scouts cases that you should be aware of – and that is their 100-year relationship with the Mormon Church where you might find a solvent creditor for some of the cases. In their 2018 financial statements, the Boy Scouts of American disclosed they had about 1.5 billion in assets. This is just the national organization and local chapters might have other assets to go after.

These cases can be found on Facebook the same way we find other sexual abuse cases and we think it might represent a good opportunity for plaintiff lawyers that they are now in bankruptcy.

We are currently seeing lead prices around $350-$450 on these claims.

This new tort is all about PFAS, a forever chemical like Teflon and C8 that is used when fighting a Jet Fuel or Gas Fire. At risk are the US Military personnel that have used this chemical for 60+ years and the Firefighters at airports that are training to and fight jet fuel fires.To learn more about this you might want to check out the legal thriller “Dark Waters” from 2019. (If you are like me and wait for it to be on Apple TV, it was just released yesterday on Apple Movies.)

The main injuries tied to this foam are signature cancers including; Kidney Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Leukemia, Lymphoma and Prostate Cancer.

This tort is so new that we don’t have any metrics on it yet, but new campaigns are starting up daily and the audiences we have for this should produce good numbers.

For my readers that will be joining us at MTMP in April, there will be a whole section on this tort.

Zantac or Ranitidine first came out in 1981 and by 1987 it was the most prescribed drug in the world for decreasing stomach acid production. Fast forward almost 40 years later and we find out that Zantac should really not be exposed to heat. When exposed to heat in the body, the chemical called N-nitrosodimethylamine, or NDMA, a probable human carcinogen is created.

In the almost 40 years on the market, no warning was ever given on this and we could be talking about a whole lot of people exposed and at risk. In 2016 there where more than 15 million Americans with a prescription to Zantac (not counting the people that got it over the counter.)

The cancers that could be tied to Zantac are:

Bladder Cancer
Stomach Cancer
Small Intestine Cancer
Colorectal Cancer
Esophageal Cancer
Liver Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer
Testicular Cancer
Uterine Cancer
Kidney Cancer

This is one that will go on for some time, and those that start earlier, will stand a better chance of leveraging our new software called the Feedback Loop to keep their costs down over the long term. Ask your dedicated rep today about getting your campaigns setup on the Feedback Loop!
