Opioid Victims Are Left Out In Purdue Pharma Deal | Amanpour and Company 

This is one of the dirtiest deals I've ever seen. The rich never pay.

How can we not feel hatred?

For those keeping track at home, that comes out to $1,000,000 PER LAWYER. And $3,000 per victim. Absolutely terrible.

On behalf on my three dead cousins and so many still suffering, I personally thank you Ryan Hampton. Please let us know who should be contacted or suggest how we may help push toward criminal charges. Though justice is not possible, may truth and healing continue..

Families like this are so removed from the real world, they will never acknowledge any wrong doing

Maybe THE FAMILY should take some of THEIR OWN MEDICINE! They deserve to lose EVERYTHING!

A family just buried their daughter last Saturday-she had a good job, a good husband, but things went downhill when she went to the doctor's and was prescribed oxycodone. She became addicted to it, and it killed her. She lost everything, and in the end, lost her life to it.

And the lawyers get rich off peoples suffering…..again.

This is our whole country now. Billionaires who drive our lives.

Infuriating and extremely brave. I pray your book is wildly successful. This will prove the pulse of our nation.

The people who say you did this to yourself, should be made to experience and understand addiction. They should be prescribed Oxycontin for 3 to 6 months, and then see how it goes for them.

It's the best government that money can buy.

Anyone watch Dope sick on Hulu? Wow!

Just like probate court. Lawyers get as much as they can, even if it means heirs never see a penny.

And they’re still prescribing Oxys for wisdom tooth extraction. It is the first thing my doctor wanted to prescribe me last week. They were clueless when I told them about this.

Only in the USA

Absolutely sickening... I was 17 yrs old being prescribed Oxycontin 80mg 120 per month for knee pain in Florida in 2001. I had no idea what I was getting into and it led me down a path of life that was absolute hell. I am now opioid free and have been for 2 yrs. It took away my late teens, 20s and half of my 30s to beat the addiction... Purdue absolutely destroyed my life and thousands upon thousands of other life's and they could care less....

How do they compensate those lives ruined and lost? The very victims then get nothing

This is one ot the most compelling interviews I have seen. Being in recovery for over 10 years thank god, I too was railroaded in a state that completely allowed doctors to write scripts for opioids and it impacted my entire community. I have lost 8 friends I went to school with: I lost my future, my marriage ect. I was not an addict before oxycontin: I was turned into one when the doctor lied; the sacklers lied the whole medical community lied- and said that as long as I took the medicine as directed I wouldn’t be addicted. The sacklers should be in prison.

ITS DISGUSTING!! How is this possible??? WHen do WE GET PAID???

Of course it was killed by them Ryan because they were complicit in the problem and participated in it and now they're trying to get rich on it.

I’m in NY and in contact with my legislature now. With a draft of a petition for redress of grievances with a prayer for relief. I’m willing to join forces.

So, I'm confused, when caught up in the "pill mills", he was obtaining medication he specifically requested and wanted?

Anyone know and current class action suit in Canada people can still join?

I’m trying to get my state to find funds to at least get all survivors cosmetic dentistry. Damaged, uncompensated, no insecure because of these drugs. The healing never real will start. Loving yourself is number 1

The Sackler's

ryan for president

So when are we going to get our penny's for them screwing up our life's?

Well if the victim is destitute because of their bullshit. Then anything would help. So WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET PAYED?

No one BUT VICTIMS should be compensated, this is criminal of govs....

Reparations is quick when its: "You know the thing" 🦉

If I am paying my attorneys 1.2 Billion, I want my attorneys and the Department of Justice to pursue criminal charges and Capital Punishment against the Sackler family and CVS and Walgreens and other entity that was involved in the Opied crisis. Then I want all attorneys and the DOJ attorneys to release any money that they took on any state cases. for their fees for them to get paid off by Purdue, CVS and Walgreens and any other entity that was involved. So they would not purse criminal charges against Purdue Pharma and CVS and Walgreens and any other entity. I want criminal and Capital Punishment charges brought up against Walgreen's and CVS as well and any other entity. I want victims rights and restitution for victims. And to see all that contributed this Opied crisis to get arrested and have there life's ruined for killing my friends and victims and knowing what they did was wrong and unlawful, like drug dealers that they were instead of walking away with a slap on there hands. I will say this, I will make sure they pay. With all my legal knowledge. I will use it and if they do not pay today. They will pay for it tomorrow. Because, there is no statue of limitations on pre meditate murder! I will fight until I die. And I will make a difference trust me on this. I will not get bought off like the Department of Justice Attorneys, and all the Attorneys that are working on these cases. No one is respecting all the individuals and victims because all the attorneys all the pharmaceutical companies all the distributors have paid off all the attorneys and all the Department of Justice Attorneys that are involved, they don't care about the victims, they're just concerned about their pockets $$$ and act like Racketeers and Mobsters. they should be a shame for representing the People. People need to go to jail and stricken their lives and serve time for a minimum of 25 years as killers as they are, if you kill someone and pre meditate it, and you are killing multiple times, Then you're considered to be a serial killer, face the law now and get the gas chamber or electric chair. Because, you were saying when you did the crime and have no remorse on killing many and knew exactly what you were doing. So who attributed to this should go to jail for a very long time or die of capital punishment like every one else that pre meditates to kill. And, have all their money taken away by the IRS like Pablo Escobar and any high ranked cocaine dealer. And have all their funds distributed to all the victims and individuals that they did harm to. I am going to request "Capital Punishment for everyone from pay offs to ignoring the facts of what a Life meant. The serial killers knew what they did and always got life imprisonment or DEATH for pre meditate killing! And why are federal judges allowing them to walk from capital punishment, it's because they got paid off as well. This should not be allowed!

Will victims even recieve a dime

THE DEVIL WORKS HARD

🤔🤔🤔

I think I would of just rather overdosed. It would of been better then this. God I'm sad. Peace@Love

AND VICTIMS HAVE STILL NOT SEEN MONEY!!!!!!!!

EU DR.UP....PURDUE

This is WHY PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.

So legitimate pain patients should suffer for people who broke the law and resorted to illegal potent drugs? Why not sue Budweiser Co for people who have killed how many others for their addiction and breaking the law? Everyone knows drinking can be addicted, so should nobody be allowed to drink? Something else is going on here.

Oxycontin has served the medical community and the patients dependent upon pain medication. Shut up Mr. Hampton, please.

I was making $134k in 2002. On disability since falling off roof and make 16k on SSI/SSDI. I didn't know I was addicted to drugs until I read what Purdue did to me word for word. I has been a 22 year nightmare that I had to end after waiting almost 5 years the government is not fair and this is a really cruel punishment to wait while cities, governments lawyers all have been paid. Where's my money? so has been in OKC since 12/23. I want my money I paid for it with 19 years of my life .
