State Attorneys General and the Victim Payout Disparity
State Attorneys General are criticized for prioritizing state treasuries over individual victims during settlement negotiations. In private sessions, officials like New York's David Nachman allegedly argued that victims deserved nothing because they "did this to themselves." The current $10 billion plan allocates 92.5% of funds to governments and corporations, leaving victims with payouts as low as $3,500 for the loss of a loved one.
