Federal judge affirms Boy Scouts' $2.4 billion bankruptcy plan.
A federal judge has upheld the Boy Scouts of America's $2.4 billion bankruptcy plan, which would allow the organization to continue operating while compensating tens of thousands of men who say they were sexually abused as children while involved in Scouting. More than 80,000 men have filed claims saying they were abused as children by troop leaders around the country. The plan's opponents say the staggering number of claims, when combined with other factors, suggest the bankruptcy process was manipulated.
