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.”

@QasimRashid If this is about the recent ruling. Then “not one person will go to prison” might be a bit early to conclude.

Because the recent ruling stops only civil cases from being brought on the family, criminal cases are still possible.

I am not sure if someone will take up criminal charges. But the ruling doesn’t prevent it.
