Payouts from Juul’s $300 million class action settlement are finally getting distributed — and some people are getting a lot more money than they expected.
If you scroll through the r/juul subreddit, you can see posts showing the thousands — or hundreds — of dollars hitting people’s Venmo accounts. One screenshot shows someone who said they received more than $9,000, while others report receiving $6,200 and $4,600.
Judging by the comments on some of these posts, it appears people who submitted receipts for their Juul pods or pens may have gotten bigger payouts, and with some users spending hundreds of dollars per week on vaping, the amounts added up.
