Approximately 90 claimants are seeking more than $1 billion from the FBI for failing to stop Larry Nassar from abusing them.

Under federal law, a government agency has six months to respond to the tort claim. Lawsuits could follow, depending on the FBI’s response. The Justice Department said in May that it would not pursue criminal charges against former FBI agents who failed to quickly open an investigation.
The approximately 90 claimants include Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, all Olympic gold medalists, according to Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, a California law firm.

Why they want money tho?
Repay the victims. Victims went to the FBI years before the big trial and nothing happened.
Make money make make money
50 cent haha
Imagine our surprise. 1 Billion? Really Simone? 🙄🤔
Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?
What the hell does this have to do with the FBI, nothing, but I guess you get nothing by sueing the jerk who’s responsible
Biles kept going back to Nassar repeatedly for years. She wanted it.
Don’t tell person assault that she wanted it. Other victims had to as well their parents made them.
@Michelle Biles was not forced by her parents. She went back because she liked it. She went to him hundreds of times.
Don’t blame her in the least. Good for her.
Ahh I see, now I see thier true intentions now. Wow
They don’t care about justice. They care about money.
if cops local or federal such as fbi get sued and get found guilty tax payer money should not be used to pay for their stupidity they should pay out of pocket no more free ride
Well what happened is they have already spent what they got so now they’re wanting more.
The sad thing is we the tax payers will have to pay the billion dollars in this lawsuit. What should be done is take the money out of retired FBI agents pensions and make them pay and not us. Their pensions are way more than they deserve any way because they don’t do anything to deserve these huge pensions because as this case shows they don’t do anything to protect young women from sexual abusers.
