Sacklers willing to pay more to settle Purdue Pharma opioid lawsuits, mediator says
NBCMAR 20 2022
The Sackler family have profiteered from the opioid epidemic. They must be held accountable, and the original settlement didn't go far enough to bring justice to victims. Families like the Sacklers should not be given refuge in bankruptcy court.
Though far from perfect, litigious attack jeopardized a settlement that could've provided urgently needed resources for tackling the opioid crisis. If they want to do more to hold the Sacklers accountable, they should pursue criminal charges rather than more money.
