The Sackler family are still multi billionaires and none of them have spent a second in jail. They hid most of their personal wealth, Purdue pharmaceuticals filed for bankruptcy protection in 2019. Their names got dragged through the mud, but overall they walked away pretty unscathed for the heinous crimes they committed. They interviewed Richard Sackler and asked if he felt any responsibility for the opioid crisis and he said one word, no. They literally got millions of people hooked on opioids by paying off the FDA for a bullshit pill label that stated it was nonaddictive and flooding the country with sales people. It’s really fucked up what they did, they knew exactly what they were doing. and did not care one bit. Their name used to be on a lot of art museums and charitable organizations in New York. Now their name should be associated with Kensington

Kensington is now renamed to Sacklerton? Or Heronton

Heronton sounds like a beach town with lots of wading birds. I prefer that.

The incestuous relationship pharmaceuticals have with the FDA is a massive problem that directly lead to the opioid crisis and the lack of any accountability laws is how people like the Sacklers get away with what otherwise is blantent false advertising, drug dealing, and murder.
