Breaking: Bayer’s secrets are coming out and Roundup victims may finally get the truth. A federal judge just ruled that plaintiffs in the Roundup cancer lawsuits can access Bayer’s internal due diligence documents from its 2018 Monsanto acquisition.... 🧵
Originally sealed in a shareholder lawsuit, these files are now accessible and open for examination. The documents may shed light on what Bayer and Monsanto were aware of regarding the cancer risks associated with Roundup and the timeline of when they gained this knowledge.
This issue extends beyond the realm of science, involving strategic decisions, risk assessments, and internal warnings kept hidden from the public eye. Thousands upon thousands of individuals diagnosed with NHL have filed lawsuits, alleging that Roundup caused their illness.
If these files show Bayer anticipated massive litigation but chose not to warn consumers, it strengthens claims of negligence and corporate concealment.
Bayer has already paid over $11 billion to settle nearly 100,000 Roundup cases.

However, 61,000 lawsuits remain unresolved, with additional cases being filed each month. This decision has the potential to redefine the legal landscape for Roundup. Meanwhile, Bayer maintains that it has already provided “millions of pages” of discovery documents.
But the judge made it clear. The internal assessments of litigation risk are relevant to proving what the company knew and when. The vault is now open. This is a win for transparency. A win for victims. And a warning to corporations.
If you bury the truth, the courts and the people will dig it up. The fight is far from over. But today, the truth is one step closer to the surface. lawsuit-information-center.com/roundup-lawsui…
