  • A class action settlement has been reached in Speaks v. U.S. Tobacco Cooperative, Inc., which was pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina
  • This class action lawsuit is listed as case number 5:12-CV-729-D
  • A whooping $24 million settlement pool has been established to pay class members who file valid claims and their lawyer(s)

FlueCuredTobaccoSettlement.com provides the claim form.  Class members contend that U.S. Tobacco accumulated funds over the years that should be distributed to members and that they did not act fair in regards to their members interest in the firm.  Class members who are not happy with the $24 million dollar settlement can opt out of the settlement by December 20, 2017.  Flue Cured Tobacco Settlement class members who elect to opt out will not be eligible to receive any distribution from the 24 million dollar settlement fund.
