Sackler family is willing to pay up to 10 billion to make it go away. How much did they make?
Settlement goes to various governments and the families of the dead addicts can't sue. Fucked twice
Ed Bisch, whose 18-year-old son died of an overdose 20 years ago, is glad states pushed Sackler family members to pay more but still called the settlement “a horrible deal” because so many parents who buried loved ones won’t see money — and the Sacklers will still be wealthy and free.
“Guess what? They still made billions and billions of dollars,” he said. “Without any jail time, where is the deterrent? We’ve lost two generations to their greed.”
OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma reached a settlement Thursday over its role in the nation’s deadly opioid crisis that includes virtually all U.S. states and thousands of local governments, with the Sackler family members who own the company boosting their cash contribution to as much as $6 billion.
The deal follows an earlier settlement that had been appealed by eight states and the District of Columbia. They agreed to sign on after the Sacklers kicked in more cash — including a portion that just those jurisdictions would control — and accepted other terms, including apologizing. In exchange, the family would be protected from civil lawsuits.

The Sacklers made way more than that. Way, way, way more than that. Oxy has been around since, what, the mid 90s'ish? 30 years of quite literally ruining the country.
Dopesick.
The Sacklers deserve lumbar decompression therapy as much as the clowns perpetrating the covid hoax.

n a 138-page decision, Circuit Judge Bruce Selya wrote that Insys and Kapoor, who had been chief executive, deserved “great credit” for developing Subsys to treat cancer pain, but in the pursuit of profit “turned what should have been a blessing into a curse.”
Kapoor, 77, was convicted in 2019 and is serving a 5-1/2-year prison sentence.
He remains the highest-ranking pharmaceutical executive convicted for helping fuel the U.S. opioid epidemic https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-states-rush-meet-deadline-join-26-billion-opioid-settlement-2021-08-19.
His co-defendants Michael Gurry, Sunrise Lee, Joseph Rowan and Richard Simon were sentenced to terms ranging from one to 2-3/4 years.
Kapoor’s lawyer declined to comment. Lawyers for the other defendants and the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston, which prosecuted the case, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Prosecutors said Insys used sham “speaker programs,” ostensibly to educate the medical field, as a means to pay bribes and kickbacks to doctors who then prescribed Subsys, often to non-cancer patients.
Kapoor also directed efforts to defraud insurers that were reluctant to pay for Subsys, prosecutors said.
Fentanyl is an especially potent opioid, up to 100 times stronger than morphine. Insys, based in Chandler, Arizona, filed for bankruptcy protection in 2019.
Kapoor took a coffee is for closers approach to sales. Strip clubs and hot sales execs

No one wins except some political careers and lawyers.
I am sure that the next gov of the state of washington will claim he was responsible for ridding society of Oxy
I know a rep did write one specifically for the little blue pill. Jake G. played the Rep. IIRC.
Not being a druggie, but my impression is that for oxy, the horse seems to have left the barn as the drug is pretty locked down now. Chinese fentanyl coming through Mexico seems like the current huge problem. That and meth coming from Mexico.
My wife and her 4 broken fingers can attest
Basically get extra strength advil
