Supreme Court blocks $6 billion Purdue Pharma opioid settlement 

It is a CIVIL sue...

YEP! Hence nickel bags of harmless weed is criminalized federally, TO ADULTS, yet the ATF taxes and supports the 4 biggest killers of Americans...for the profit of the monopolies whom grift them for MEGA, ND MAGA profit. Florida says slavery was a jobs program! Even for the 10 generations plus of SLAVES who never got paid for their, as the GOP puts it, 'trade, taught by teachers, and not slaves owners whom owned the bloodlines of their HUMAN 'cattle'. Lobbying is legal, yet the same act is called BRIBERY...if you're not an American thug, er, 'Congressmen'. Taxes= The Godfather's 'protection'...without the protection. Show me an American politician whom hasn't lied for their own gain, and I'll show you how wrong you are, via public record facts. TRY ME! I DARE YOU! So I may destroy your 'we have democracy' American delusion...via simple, public record facts.

@@konigstiger3252 murder is a felony no? I mean... if you or I caused as many deaths as opioids have, we'd be getting tried for genocide by the international Court...

Yes this is a civil suit, but where are the criminal prosecutions? Oh wait…big pharma is one of the industries that owns the politicians from both parties. The OPs post sill applies.

The sad part is the settlement was for around $6B to 60,000 people. It would have netted each person around $100K before lawyers and taxes. That is a lot of money that can be used to buy other drugs to keep them happy. Now they will have to wait another 20+ years and probably not see one dime. In the end, the lawyers win. The family can always file bankruptcy later if that helps preserve their wealth. That's justice for you.

How much money do they donate to Republicans and Democrats!?? ~ *Registered Independent*

@@hazmat1978 Mostly give to Republicans and Conservatives but some members of the Sacklers have donated a fair amount to Democrats. My sources were Open Secrets, Hartford Courant and Truthout.

True.

Don't forget every single doctor that prescribed it!

So should the beer and liquor companies

Their bank accounts should be drained and their citizenship should be revoked, every last Sackler

it seems we did

They have more money.

Same reason Trump is walking around free, & runnimg 4 an office he is unfit for!

She didn't manage to turn a profit with her lies.

She made the mistake of exploiting rich people instead of poor people.

She *took* the rich people's money, but they made a lot of money *for* rich people.

Kind of odd how they get off scot-free in the same way that Biden does what a coincidence

Yep they want no liability like vaccine makers currently have in USA. Was interesting that Pfizer and Moderna gave up billions in profits in India, because India wouldn't give the corps immunity.

Forget that, They've got the SC in their pociet

Oh they won't do a single day of time.

They won't even loss a yacht or a vacation home .

Unless they get capital punishment, it’s just more rich man’s justice.

@@jenns2074the would have to get Clarence Thomas off them first

Agreed

I could not agree more. I hate how all the 1% think the rules don't apply to them. Everyone should watch Atlas shrugged part 3 cause of how much everything changes.

And that is? What if the cause of addiction isn't drugs? Suppose the cause is pain? People in chronic pain chronically take pain relievers. PTSD from child abuse mostly. We make war on them. And blame the pain relievers. It is a Government Program.

They should have to lose their lives and the lives of their families the same way they have benefited from the destruction of countless lives and the loss of even. just. one. You and I would already be under the prison. Fair doesnt even enter the equation for these scumbags, with the amount of derision heaped on addicts -- they are just as culpable for the behavior of addicts as are the addicts themselves in this case.

Life in prison without parole and no reduced sentences for Sacklers. They murdered 400,000 unsuspecting adults and children.

Why not both?

@@mvrk4044 They aren't just as capable, they knew opioids killed people. They are murderers.

settlement = bribes

They are murderers. Causing suicides and destroying countless families all over the country.

At the very least, it has to be every dime they made off the drug, plus a penalty amount equal to the amount they profited. And a few years in prison for the owners.

I agree with you 1000%

I'm so sorry for your loss. And I know saying that won't bring them back, but I hope the empathy of a stranger means something.

@scalylayde8751 thank you it does.

You getting nothing after lawyer fees enjoy your $1 per person cost more to spend the money to you than you get.

@basillah7650 never was about the money so I could careless about that. It's about consequences for illegal acts. If you sell a product and say it's safe and you know that's a lie but you do it anyway for the money. You die of the heart attack and stress you caused. But your family needs to not enrich themselves at millions of other peoples health. Seize all assets, go to jail if you try to keep it. The world knows what Purdue Pharma did, Elie Lilly, Dupont, etc. History and God are not the only ones that keep scores, the victims and surviving family members keep score too. We will publicly shame someone that commits crimes against Humanity. That's my prayer today. I'm sleeping like a baby.

They need WORSE than jail time. They need to forced to be addicted to their drug and forced to suffer withdrawal and all associated with it before they eventually die a horrible death.

@@murraymadness4674 especially since they say its not addictive, so they should have no trouble stopping all on their own after taking it for a long time according to medical doctor's directions, now that is a reality show that would be blockbuster

1 MILLION Americans have died from Opiods... and NO Criminal Charges???!!!!!!

Speaking of big pharma… Remember how, we the people, funded all the research for the Covid vaccine? If we didn’t, we never would have gotten a vaccine at all. Thank goodness we were able to do that! But…. When is came to getting the vaccine out, who decided to make record profits off it while we all couldn’t work? That money BELONGS to the taxpayers and something needs to be done about that as well.

@@MrMatt531 Speaking of COVID, it KILLED 1 Million.. just like Opiods. The difference is Big Pharma saves 1 Million and Killed another 1 Million... it's a wash .. NO PROFITS FOR YOU!!>

Not any more.

I seriously doubt them, especially in this case.

You’re not alone, especially when most of them are heavily compromised by the billionaires.

The majority nominated Republican SCOTUS aren't letting the people get away with the massive damage they caused America, while Democrats was gonna let them slide

I wouldn’t be surprised if they overreached again and declared that evil family as inmune from any prosecution at all without having to pay any money.

Why do you think that? Maybe it was a bad deal. I bet they get more money for all the people that were harmed. 6 billion is nothing

You realize that the Biden administration requested the SC to step in because they clearly see this as a god awful deal. More than likely the Sackler family is about to lose even more money

This isnt helping the Sacklers. They were happy with the sweetheart deal they got. The SC is going to be much more punitive.

Unfortunately, in the case of congress, it's a lot of millionaires carrying water for billionaires in the hope of gaining a few bucks of blood money

The settlement doesn't give the Sackler family protection from criminal lawsuits. It settles civil claims only, kind of like the global tobacco settlement.

In prison right along side fentanyl pushers

Decisions decisions decisions just think of all the drug addicts that could have been flipping hamburgers at McDonald's or teaching Sunday school but no baby they were willing pleasure victims. Decisions decisions decisions

Yeah, well money talks in this country so I doubt they’ll spend any jail time. I think common sense says they should forfeit all of their wealth and spend some jail time.

The FDA is just as responsible as the Sackler family. This is so typical of people not really knowing what’s what on . I was on Oxy for years with no issues whatsoever. The drug gave me a quality of life I wouldn’t have had . Addicts and abusers will always find a way to use . It’s just the way it is , sadly 😊

I don't trust anything the current Supreme court decides.

If this is SCOTUS corruption people better take notice.

The settlement would bar Sacklers from civil suits. This is probably a good thing

I'm better on the latter. This court is cooked.

.... The head of a corporation and the corporation itself are separate entities. You literally just acknowledged that a corporation is considered a legal person but in the same sentence you want some other person to be jailed for lawbreaking by corporations.

Then corporations can break the law - corporations already make the laws through the amount of direct influence they have over Congress, and indirect influence they have through PAC's

@@shanesimms3665 Durp. The surpeme court said it not me. If someone owns a corporation, and makes billions; but is only fined millions even IF they are caught and successfully prosecuted; but the owner never sees the inside of a jail, that is an Autocracy. The company is considered a person, but the person who owns it is not considered the corporation (Wonderland logic).

The law was passed as "corporations are legally people" so that the rich could donate all they wanted to their favorite politician that would pass bills/laws for them. After that, its not applicable.

@@kcw1879 The head of a corporation does not own the corporation for one. For two, if the head of a corporation themselves breaks the law they can and do face jailtime via personal liability.

There is no "opioid epidemic/Pandemic". There are irresponsible adults taking dangerous amounts of a dangerous drug, knowing every risk involved, and expiring. There is no victim.

@@47ravenlord I disagree. Tens of thousands of patients became addicted to pain medications while on a Dr.'s care, taking the meds AS PRESCRIBED. This is not about drug abuse (although there was certainly some of that). This is about a big pharma company that intentionally marketed opioids while minimizing the risks. Down in Mexico and other S American countries they even had dancing pills on TV as their advertising. Seriously.

Capital must be protected at all costs, as usual. And of course, there are bootlicking sycophants who will defend this massive corporation knowingly lying about the addictive nature of their drug, covering up that knowledge, getting caught doing that, and then blaming their victims.

@@davidtrindle6473no, he said that it’s very difficult to find anything that manages the severe pain some people experience. I’m so be of them and verify. Anything you take that’s strong enough to alleviate the pain, will come with even worse side effects.

No, people actually in chronic pain are required to suffer in America, rather than get any pain relief, because some doctors were irresponsible... When we should be treating people in actual pain.

@@davidtrindle6473 Where does he say that?

The point is that done people were able to manage their medications without issue and were kept from accessing it because of how Purdue pushed the drug on people who didn't need it. Terminal patients also had trouble getting medication because of how poorly new rules were written and enforced.

Speaking of big pharma… Remember how, we the people, funded all the research for the Covid vaccine? If we didn’t, we never would have gotten a vaccine at all. Thank goodness we were able to do that!

From what I remember reading a while back, the money is going to states. The state decides To either spend it on drug education, treatment centers,or to the law enforcement offices dealing with drug cases,stings and whatnot. Of course it's going to go to cops. They generate revenue for the state.

The victims won't get a cent!

Would be nice, but that amount of assets between both the company and families, does not exist. It can do a lot of good for future help to addicts and such, if not squandered on jailing people ($40,000/yr+police enforcement) or something. But $2,000 per person (3M estimated) was never the deal and wouldn't help much as a direct payment anyway.

​@@onikinit could also fund the courts to expedite death row appeals so we can start fixing the crime problems

@@onikin I've seen a lot of federal cases involving drs, pharmacist, as well as pharmacy supply companies. These people are getting sweetheart sentences. What REALLY should happen (this is a charge in NJ) is they get charged for strick liability for a drug death. This old law was created to get sentencing for kingpin and high level dealers who didn't directly sell to someone and they od'd but for them indirectly causing death by supplying someone one who did sell to someone who died as a result of their selling. Many of these folks were responsible for so many deaths, and destruction of families,towns,cities,counties, states. The rich never pay their fair share when it comes to sentencing

The govt is involved since they approved the drug

Because our government could give a shit less. Most of them are hooked on the same meds and/or getting ridiculous amounts of donations and perks from big pharma. I guarantee behind the scenes the question is “how are they responsible, addiction is a sickness.” They won’t say anything about how Purdue Pharma PUSHED these drugs KNOWING how they would effect people and THEY DID IT FOR MONEY.

@@devilsson6660 Size doesn't matter.... That is why a strong federal government is a requirement in this case. Especially since the opioid crisis transcend all counties and states.

Oxycontin is widely blamed by public health experts for helping ignite the opioid crisis that's claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in the U.S., with more than 80,000 deaths linked to opioids in 2022 alone.

To be fair to the FDA, they are horrifically underfunded.

DrugAddicts areUpset

Yes they should. Opiates have been known to be wildly, dangerously addictive for all of human civilization and nothing has ever contradicted that. A doctor has the least possible excuse for thinking otherwise because they would not only know that it is addictive, but the exact mechanisms through it causes addiction.

In a number of cases they have been, the difference being doctors have seen the inside of prison cells, the Sackler's have not.

Opiod prescribers were told *repeatedly* that Purdue's painkiller was different, with a near-zero chance of addiction, because it was continuous release (the "Contin" in OxyContin).

​@@kkeelty64LOL! If you had a Phil male you knew better than that!

All those greedy lawyers saw a big pay day, the Sacklers sit on their money and avoid prison and the victims get what little is left. Meantime oxy is still out there killing people and future victims will not be able to sue when the 6 billion runs out. Shame.
