For the Expedited Distribution, 99% claims determined and 92% paid (6,036 claims) For the TDP, 39% claims determined and 19% paid (58,088 claims) For the IRO, 17% claims determined and 5% paid (230 claims... not all of which are finalized like the ED and TDP) If the Trust were to stop here, just based on claims paid amounts (not determined)... they would need just shy of $6B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeptic Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago This just hit the net. Too little too late, but a step in the right direction IMO. https://www.aol.com/emotional-vote-bill-limiting-claims-093139185.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who has never been a victim Mr. skeptic how do you feel qualified to be able to make such a statement? Are you even qualified at all about what a Child Sexual Abuse victim goes thru in their lifetime? Do you have firsthand knowledge of what it is like to be raped as a child? Post up the article (which makes me believe the state of Maryland is facing some big-time lawsuits and are trying to limit their exposure since they cannot do the cowardly "file bankruptcy"). Sometimes it is just better to keep your IMO's to yourself, so you don't appear to be so petty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should not assume who can and who can not wear a victim badge. Many people can claim victimhood as few people make it thru childhood unscared. Scouting is only one venue where bad people did bad things. Those bad people also existed in youth sports, schools, churches, police, medical and others.

We should not assume who can and who can not wear a victim badge. Many people can claim victimhood as few people make it thru childhood unscared. You are correct it is fair, though maybe not always wise. @skeptic for years has been espousing a view that CSA victims and more specifically BSA CSA victims do not deserve any more than a mere pittance for what they had to endure while under the watchful eye of the BSA. He has made statements where he has said that Survivors are taking money that belongs to today's youth (as if we were thieves). Claiming victimhood does not make one an authority on CSA. Rape and abuse of a child has to be one of the most horrific experiences that a young person can endure. To have to live with that pain for the rest of one's life is not an easy thing to endure, I know. Would @skeptic like to put a cap on the amount that could be awarded to a victim of someone who had gasoline deliberately poured on their body and then set on fire? 4 hours ago, fred8033 said: Scouting is only one venue where bad people did bad things.

Eagle1970 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I don't have time for trolls. Here is an update from last month: https://survivingscouting.org/bankruptcy/2025-04-email-to-the-us-trustee?fbclid=IwY2xjawJdArpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHq1BYplGns7EEIawXnLoxIfC7WlP3b3WW1gwAinTdax4NR_hkOyx54rRsVh__aem_Qk-LecL4RoVixXdmIRtWsg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think skeptic is flagging the hypocrisy of first opening limits when it doesn't affect the state's finances, but then later tightening when the lawsuits start hitting state finances. The laws should be consistent. Cities, school districts and other organizations should also be facing the same liabilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to not say more, but the bill makes an effort to stop the lawyers from milking things. That is important, as it makes the whole process far more difficult for all concerned. The emotional insults were expected though, as ruined lives will always have pain, though putting that pain on others with no logic is sad, thus the sad emoticon. As far as my personal pain from a long life, it is nobody's business and I choose not to blame those not involved directly, nor to expand my scarring onto others if I can avoid it.

Tron Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago There are so many competing claims about the settlement fund and what's in it, and what is supposed to be in it. Based on my research the settlement fund amount was agreed upon at 2.46 billion dollars; there is no legal claim to anything higher. 1 billion of that is funded and in place. The remaining 1.46 billion is locked up in various stages which include: Amounts that are not available due to asset liquidation being stalled due to issues outside of the control of the settlement court. Amounts that are not available due to cooperating insurance companies needing more time to liquidate assets to fund. Amounts that are not available because some insurance companies are refusing to pay out until all appeals are settled. Not to be insensitive but where is the larger pot of gold that people seem to speak of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
