Make em pay, for the ones who passed away and the ones who lived. What the dope boys at Purdue did to a generation and how they affected the Healthcare system is sheer greed. Getting people mentally and physically hooked on their chemicals for profit. In the case of the Sacklers they are no better than any other Cartel head or nation state head that has an illicit substance as an export. How is Arthur Sackler and family better than El Chapo, Escobar, Triads or Mafia head that made their money from misery and death? Valuim to Oxy its a fortune built on chemicals that made people suffer and opened the door to the fentaynl epidemic. They probably make a pill for that too though. Arthur Sackler is a dope boy.

Thanks for this update. Messages matter, and an important message needs to be sent about what happens when you kill and get rich.

I thought, but might be wrong, that bankruptcy laws were to prevent inescapable lifelong ruin. Not to protect people from punitive damages they owe, which in this case are for enormous numbers of deaths and destroyed lives and families.

Thank you for your tireless work on this!

We can only hope for some sort of justice, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it happening.

Look at all the malfeasance in the financial industry after 2008 and how many went to jail of suffered any financial or criminal repercussions.

For murdering 500,000 people the Sacklers should be in prison for life. Bankruptcy is a win for them.

Is protection from criminal liability and protection from civil liability two separate questions or is this an umbrella protecting them from both?

2 separate matters. This is only protecting the Sacklers from civil liability. They could be indicted for crimes, however, the problem is that the DOJ and the states attorney generals have no appetite for launching even a criminal probe.

And that’s because it would implicate financial ties with sitting politicians (house and senate) that are too obvious to explain away. It’s stories like these that offer a sense of satisfying humility. To be wealthy at the expense of so many others is to be worse off than poorest homeless man. Sacklers fate is sealed regardless of what these law technocrats decide. They will continue to rot from deep within thier useless, helpless souls. Only God can show mercy, and they may already be bankrupt with him too. Enjoy the roast, Sacklers!

So (and this might be a silly question) is the Supreme Court considering this as a 14th Amendment issue? Is it being looked at in terms of the limits/enforceability of contract law?

Just from a layman’s perspective, it kinda seems sus that a judge who may or may not have had ulterior motives could make a proactive ruling regarding torte law. (But then again, that’s basically what’s happing with “Operation Warp Speed”...)
