AG announces tentative $6 billion settlement with Purdue Pharma
Posted
Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings announced a tentative settlement worth as much as $6 billion with Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family over their role in the opioid epidemic. The agreement adds at least $1 billion to a prior bankruptcy plan worth between $4.325 billion and $4.5 billion.
So instead of stopping the drug flow across the open border or locking up the criminal drug dealers, Kathy sues the drug companies, who will now just charge us more for prescriptions to make up for this settlement!! — Marc Auger
The CIA allows the drug flow to occur to pay for their black operations. The cartels are a force they can control and destabilize Central and South America to their liking. It fuels the War on Drugs and pumps law enforcement budgets and destabilizes non-White communities (similar to how U.S. intervention creates blowback to justify further action). More “convicts” make private prisons more money. Purdue Pharma pushed opiates with reckless abandon; doctors were given cuts from this deal. — Pete Schonert
The families that often are financially exhausted from trying to help their loved ones stay alive or emotionally exhausted from the roller-coaster ride of addiction will not receive anything! No one wants their apology at this point! Pay for rehab, yes, but what about the children that get left behind because of this drug? The parents who use everything to try to help loved ones? The Sackler family knew what their drug was and just didn’t care! — Donna Oman
Price of doing business. Unless drastic action is taken and the people responsible for this hell are brought to justice, this will do nothing. — Pete Schonert
