Sackler family granted immunity from civil lawsuits.

Of course these GARBAGE people, these sociopaths, have won and they got away with a huge crime! The rich are laughing at us. They system is rigged in favour of the rich. News to no one, but appalling and enraging.

I've read Empire of Pain (very good, about the Sackler family). And what I got out of it was that they were pretty much mostly people who just wanted to be rich and stay rich. I think that a lot of people would do the same. My big issue is with the horrible regulation. They were ALLOWED to get away with it - repeatedly. Governments need to stop assuming that people can be true to principles when offered the chance of huge wealth as well as stop being so corrupt - people who let the Sacklers get away with it took money and jobs from them. You just simply can't depend on the 'goodness' of humans volunteering to be good. You have to have proper and well policed safety checks against it.

This is America. Of course they are immune.

This is terrible news.

The entire Sackler family and their descendants should be run out of America with flaming pitchforks and never allowed to return. The damage they've knowingly done is incalculable and ongoing.

For people interested I highly recommend the series "Dopesick" on Netflix. Michael Keaton as a small town Virginia doctor in a community overtaken by Oxycontin abuse is brilliant. Also stars DL Fave Mare Winningham.
