darpar Watched all of Painkiller, pretty graphic in parts but tells the brutal story of how addiction
can ruin lives and make other people rich at the same time.
Some of the Sackler Family s/b serving prison time, but $$$$$$$$$ talks!
We finished it last night. Read where the case isn't quite settled yet after all these years. The bankruptcy agreement where the Sackler's agreed to pay $6 billion and would be protected from lawsuits is being reviewed by the supreme court.
"Activists are celebrating a US supreme court decision to review Purdue Pharma’s controversial $6bn settlement of opioid lawsuits for bringing “a sense of optimism to an otherwise bleak situation”.
"Last year, the attorney general, Merrick Garland, said the “bankruptcy court did not have the authority to deprive victims of the opioid crisis of their right to sue the Sackler family”.
Some say it's a misuse of the bankruptcy court.
