Just wondering. I would think if they no longer sold oxycontin, I wouldn't be able to find any. (If I'm posting in the wrong place, I apologize. Thought Op-Ed might be an abbreviation for "opioid epidemic".
 
They filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, which allows them to continue operating normally. The government has not seized their assets or loans. I bet they're still selling brand name oxycontin, too. :rolleyes:

"A case filed under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code is frequently referred to as a "reorganization" bankruptcy. Usually, the debtor remains “in possession,” has the powers and duties of a trustee, may continue to operate its business, and may, with court approval, borrow new money. A plan of reorganization is proposed, creditors whose rights are affected may vote on the plan, and the plan may be confirmed by the court if it gets the required votes and satisfies certain legal requirements."
