A wee item about the #Sackler foundation donating money, in this case to an #NHS trust caught. Rightful outrage and questions about how they have managed avoid prison.
Then I remembered that the USA is a country that funded arms to #Iran, in order to support Central American terrorists by promoting the sale and distribution of drugs in their own country (#IranContra). If it was a film script or a novel it would be rejected as fantasy. The Sacklers fit in.
The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.
The deal is among the largest in a series of opioid settlements brought by state & local governments against drugmakers, wholesalers & pharmacies that totaled about $50 billion. It could close a long chapter — & maybe the entire book — on a legal odyssey over efforts to hold the company to account for its role in an #OpioidCrisis connected to 900,000 deaths in the U.S. since 1999, including deaths from #heroin & illicit #fentanyl.
The deal overseen by US Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane would require members of the #Sackler family who own the company to contribute up to $7 billion & give up ownership. The new agreement replaces one #SCOTUS rejected last year, finding it would have improperly protected members of the family against future lawsuits. The judge said he would explain his decision in a hearing Tuesday.

Hauptsache der eigene Markt floriert für #sackler , #purduepharma und #oxycontin
