The billionaire Sackler Family and Purdue Pharma will pay $6B & serve 0 prison for knowingly selling horrendous amounts of OxyContin while claiming it was non-addictive—resulting in 564K+ American deaths by Opioid overdose.😓 And that doesn’t even begin to contemplate the global harm and deaths the Sackler family caused.

And for all that suffering and atrocity—not one person will go to prison. Not one.

“If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the poor.”

The fact is, Purdue Pharma did nothing wrong. It CANNOT do anything wrong, as it IS NOT A PERSON.
The Sacklers, and those who enabled this scheme to go forward, OTOH, ought damn well to be in jail...

That is indeed the bullshit legality we are living with (or dying by, all too often)...
