The descendants of Mortimer and Raymond Sackler, a pair of psychiatrist brothers from Brooklyn, are members of a billionaire clan with homes scattered across Connecticut, London, Utah, Gstaad, the Hamptons, and, especially, New York City. It was not until 2015 that they were noticed by Forbes, which added them to the list of America’s richest families. The magazine pegged their wealth, shared among twenty heirs, at a conservative $14 billion. (Descendants of Arthur Sackler, Mortimer and Raymond’s older brother, split off decades ago and are mere multi-millionaires.) To a remarkable degree, those who share in the billions appear to have abided by an oath of omertà: Never comment publicly on the source of the family’s wealth.

That may be because the greatest part of that $14 billion fortune tallied by Forbes came from OxyContin, the narcotic painkiller regarded by many public-health experts as among the most dangerous products ever sold on a mass scale. Since 1996, when the drug was brought to market by Purdue Pharma, the American branch of the Sacklers’ pharmaceutical empire, more than two hundred thousand people in the United States have died from overdoses of OxyContin and other prescription painkillers.

What happened is that the War on Drugs only applies to poor people. Big and wealthy players such as Purdue Pharma and HSBC bank (money laundering drug money) will not get shot at nor prosecuted.

I can guarantee you that within these corporations there have been prosecutable criminal activities -- but the FBI is too busy investigating the "Muh Russia" canard rather than actually doing something useful. Jeff Sessions was supposed to ba a law-and-order kind of Attorney General, was he not? Much better than Eric Holder was, right?

They invented a damn good painkiller, if not the best. Usually with such great effectiveness comes great side-effects such as addiction. But it has been and is being used successfully for some of the worst temporary pains, so why shouldn't they profit from it. Americans are pretty much addicted to everything these days, it's not the government's role to nanny their people or tell them what they can and cannot take. The war on drugs has failed and so will the war on oxycontin. If you want to fuck up your life there are many other avenues and you will find a way. Of course the hypocrisy here is the war on illegal drugs which should be abolished as well while big pharma makes big $$ with "legal" drugs - that distinction is asinine.

They didn't invent any new painkiller. Oxycontin is simply time release oxycodone which has been around since 1916. What they did invent was a massive marketing campaign to doctors and patients. Knowing damn well oxy was addictive as hell. Doctors were bombarded with non stop ad campaigns about how pain was no longer acceptable and failure to prescribe oxycontin was pretty much malpractice. Patients were extensively marketed the idea that oxy was safe as aspirin but much more effective.

Purdue got one hell of a return on their advertising and lobbying dollars. Now everyone else is paying to clean up the mess. Profits to the investors, the public pays the losses. The libertarian/tea party/republican wet dream come true.

I'm getting confused here: aren't access to moar drugs a good thing? I mean, it's fashionable to be against war on drugs now, so what's exactly the problem with opioids? People getting addicted, becoming unproductivea and (some of them) dying from overdoses? And this is different from crack/meth/heroin exactly how?

Exactly my point. Although to be fair the game has been rigged against weed etc. (being illegal) and pro big pharma drugs. No doubt BP used their lobbyists and money to buy time against competition such as weed. However to label opioids as evil and weed as good completely misses the point. Every drug has a certain characteristic and its use cases, and opiods are extremely (if not the most) effective short-term solutions for pain management. Weed is undoubtedly safer, but both should be allowed on the market. Same for small (medicinal) doses of heroin (used in cough medicine then replaced by codeine et al) or cocaine. If you want to ruin your life by fostering your addictive personality you will find a way, legal or illegal, so prohibition does hardly work here and enforcement is extremely costly with little to none ROI.

Because doctors didn't prescribe millions of doses of crack after being bombarded with advertising that crack was safe and effective for routine pain control. Until Purdue started it's marketing blitz on how time release opioids weren't addictive opioids were pretty much limited to people with intractable pain from a terminal illness.

War on drugs is a total straw man. No one is saying access to drugs is good. You just made that up. The war on drugs is a massive failure, probably the biggest in history. You have to address demand, not supply. As with illegal aliens, as long as there is demand then there will be supply. When the US starts spending the untold billions from the war on drugs for treatment then there will be progress. Countries that have recognized this are having very good results.

Total bullshit. Millions of people that would never have had a problem found themselves very unexpectedly addicted to an oxycontin prescription.

General anesthesia is the most effective short term solution for pain management. Purdue didn't advertise oxy for short term pain management. They advertised it for general pain relief like Tylenol or Ibuprofen. No one should have had more than a couple days prescription unless they were being managed by a pain specialist. Which is what is being done now. It will take many, many years to clean up the mess. Purdue took the profits, the taxpayers own the losses.

Unexpectedly? lol what bs. If you happen to know a few that got addicted the history of addiction goes far back and they were never used in the prescribed quantity (but much more) and much longer than prescribed. Yes purdue underreported the addiction risk but that has been corrected. That has nothing to do with the topic of generally legalizing drugs or not.

It was never marketed as being equivalent to tylenol or ibuprofen, what hyperbole. You can make the case for high fines for purdue to give some of the profits back but again, it has nothing to do with the topic. Far more people ruin their lives with alcohol and weed, gambling or anything else that can get people addicted, who is being held responsible for the "losses" to society? Can't have it both ways.

You know this how? You have personally researched everyone that became addicted to oxy? That was ambitious. You will publish the results when? As of right now 4 out of 5 heroin users in the US started with prescription oxy..

mell says

They also spent 200-300 million a year promoting oxy mostly to convince doctors that oxy was not addictive. The FDA approved oxy with NO research on how addictive or prone to abuse oxy was. The FDA even approved and insert saying oxy was LESS addictive than other painkillers. The only research was by Dr Russell Portenoy who said opioids are a “gift from nature". He also decried the reticence among clinicians to administer such narcotics for chronic pain, claiming that it was indicative of “opiophobia,” and suggesting that concerns about addiction and abuse amounted to a “medical myth.” BTW Portenoy was funded by Purdue. In 1997, the American Academy of Pain Medicine and the American Pain Society published a statement regarding the use of opioids to treat chronic pain. The statement was written by a committee chaired by Dr. J. David Haddox, a paid speaker for Purdue. Coincidence you think?

mell says

Hyperbole? Go look up Purdue marketing, especially the late 90's. Heavy emphasis on things like arthritis, back pain, sports injuries, fibromyalgia which at the time were treated with NSIADS unless really severe. It was marketed for MODERATE to severe pain.

mell says

How many prescriptions were written for alcohol, weed, gambling, or anything else that can get people addicted? Can't have it both ways.

mell says

Oxy is legal so what are you talking about the topic of generally legalizing drugs? The topic was the Sackler's making huge amounts of money off of deceptive and very aggressive advertising of a product that should have been much more carefully researched by people not on the Purdue payroll.

I have been advocating for decriminalizing drugs and using the money spent on enforcement for addiction and mental health treatment since the 70's. Decriminalizing isn't legalizing.

Not for very long at all and not in that many states yet. How many people with a pot script are using heroin now? How much is heroin usage up in the legalized pot states? Drug (all drugs) and alcohol use in teens is down something like 20% in CO since pot legalization.

You could try defending your position instead of just skipping from non sequitur to non sequitur. Just a thought.

Every state begins to see declines in opioids as soon as they go against Trump and Republicans and allow access to Cannabis.

That position is indefensible, so you will continue to see avoiding answering the questions and denying the facts. It’s fucked up, and oddly something you will only ever hear from Republicans, or Republicans ashamed to admit they are Republicans so they call themselves “Libertarians”.

Reuters Exclusive: OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma exploring bankruptcy - sources

(Reuters) - OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma LP is exploring filing for bankruptcy to address potentially significant liabilities from roughly 2,000 lawsuits alleging the drug manufacturer contributed to the deadly opioid crisis sweeping the United States, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.

The potential move shows how Purdue and its wealthy owners, the Sackler family, are under pressure to respond to mounting litigation accusing the drugmaker of misleading doctors and patients about risks associated with prolonged use of its prescription opioids.

Purdue denies the allegations, arguing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved labels for its opioids carried warnings about the risk of abuse and misuse associated with the pain treatments.

Filing for Chapter 11 protection would halt the lawsuits and allow Purdue to negotiate legal claims with plaintiffs under the supervision of a U.S. bankruptcy judge, the sources said.

Shares of Endo International PLC and Insys Therapeutics Inc, two companies that like Purdue have been named in lawsuits related to the U.S. opioid epidemic, were down more than 12 percent and more than 5 percent, respectively, on Monday morning.

More than 1,600 lawsuits accusing Purdue and other opioid manufacturers of using deceptive practices to push addictive drugs that led to fatal overdoses are consolidated in an Ohio federal court. Purdue has held discussions to resolve the litigation with plaintiffs' lawyers, who have often compared the cases to widespread lawsuits against the tobacco industry that resulted in a $246 billion settlement in 1998.

BANKRUPTCY FILING NOT CERTAIN

A Purdue bankruptcy filing is not certain, the sources said. The Stamford, Connecticut-based company has not made any final decisions and could instead continue fighting the lawsuits, they said.

"As a privately-held company, it has been Purdue Pharma’s longstanding policy not to comment on our financial or legal strategy," Purdue said in a statement.

"We are, however, committed to ensuring that our business remains strong and sustainable. We have ample liquidity and remain committed to meeting our obligations to the patients who benefit from our medicines, our suppliers and other business partners."

Purdue faces a May trial in a case brought by Oklahoma's attorney general that, like others, accuses the company of contributing to a wave of fatal overdoses by flooding the market with highly addictive opioids while falsely claiming the drugs were safe.

Last year, U.S. President Donald Trump also said he would like to sue drug companies over the nation's opioid crisis.

Opioids, including prescription painkillers, heroin and fentanyl, were involved in 47,600 overdose deaths in 2017, a sixfold increase from 1999, according to the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Purdue hired law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP for restructuring advice, Reuters reported in August, fueling concerns among litigants, including Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter, that the company might seek bankruptcy protection before the trial.

Companies facing widespread lawsuits sometimes seek bankruptcy protection to address liabilities in one court even when their financial condition is not dire. California utility PG&E Corp filed for bankruptcy earlier this year after deadly wildfires raised the prospect of large legal bills even though its stock remained worth billions of dollars.

DECEPTIVE MARKETING

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey in June became the first attorney general to sue not just Purdue but Sackler family members. Records in her case, which Purdue has asked a judge to dismiss, accused Sackler family members of directing deceptive marketing of opioids for years while enriching themselves to the tune of $4.2 billion.

Some other states have followed suit, also suing the Sacklers. The Sacklers are currently discussing creating a nonprofit backed by family financial contributions to combat addiction and drug abuse, said a person familiar with their deliberations.

The drugmaker downplayed the possibility of a bankruptcy filing in a Feb. 22 court filing in the Oklahoma case. "Purdue is still here - ready, willing and eager to prove in this Court that the State's claims are baseless," the company said in court papers.

Sales of OxyContin and other opioids have fallen amid public concern about their addictive nature, and as restrictions on opioid prescribing have been enacted. OxyContin generated $1.74 billion in sales in 2017, down from $2.6 billion five years earlier, according to the most recent data compiled by Symphony Health Solutions.

Purdue Chief Executive Officer Craig Landau has cut hundreds of jobs, stopped marketing opioids to physicians and moved the company toward developing medications for sleep disorders and cancer since taking the helm in 2017.

In July, Purdue appointed a new board chairman, Steve Miller, a restructuring veteran who held leadership positions at troubled companies including auto-parts giant Delphi and the once-teetering insurer American International Group Inc.

Mortimer D.A. Sackler is the sole member of Purdue's founding family remaining on the company's board, according to records maintained by the Connecticut secretary of state.

The Oklahoma case and other lawsuits seek damages from Purdue and other pharmaceutical companies accused of fueling the opioid crisis. In addition to lawsuits consolidated in an Ohio federal court, more than 300 cases are pending in state courts, and dozens of state attorneys general have sued manufacturers, including Purdue.

Settlement discussions have not yet resulted in a deal.

Purdue and three executives in 2007 pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the misbranding of OxyContin and agreed to pay a total of $634.5 million in penalties, according to court records.

All of these narcotic congeners stemmed from Pharma wishing to claim they had a 'non addictive' opioid for pain, an advertising banner that is resurrected periodically, like a 'pill that cures alcoholism'. It's marketing, marketing, marketing, which is ultimately devoted to the sell and the profits, not truth.

Most doctors have only partial education in pharmacology. The pharma salespeople used to do outlandish bribes and gifts to doctors in the day. Now that they can do direct advertising. They can get the patients to pester their providers for the drug. They just have to show euphorically cured and smiling patients living the 20 million dollar lifestyle with amazing hobbies and activities in bright sun and lovely environments.

Look at all the poisonous shit they put together for all the standard analgesics and narcotics tablets these days. However, that may be by design from the usual suspects. A nice, clean mini morphine tablet in sucrose powder would do nicely, and be cheap and healthy, as long as it wasn't abused. However, that wouldn't create long term kidney and liver damage, which sells more meds and pleases the malevolent pharma industrialists and banksters, it seems.

They had many narcotic congeners that were really awful in the late 70's and 80's that were eventually pulled from the market.

There is no such thing as something that gets you high but doesn't have addictive liability. People become addicted to some pretty weird shit that they take to get stoned. As the Globalist dynastics have learned from their practices, even human flesh, in particular young human flesh, has an addictive character, thus the tissues recycled from abortion mills winding up in fast food meat. Many of those fast food bust ups look like jonesing addicts irrational from need.

The Pharma gig seems to be 'invent the shit, patent it, market it, make as much money as possible after bribing FDA and the peer review system, pay the penalties piecemeal later as they come in, rinse repeat. It's become a short sighted money scheme that is judged by more money coming in than is paid out in fines and liabilities.

Look at all the stacked vaccines. Pure balderdash, they will claim a vaccine to everything because of the liability exemption. Of course, the vaccines have also been regarded by the Nazi/NWO as bullets without the mess since they were invented.

They invented a damn good painkiller, if not the best. Usually with such great effectiveness comes great side-effects such as addiction. But it has been and is being used successfully for some of the worst temporary pains, so why shouldn't they profit from it.


@mell - let me explain what the Sackler family did.

They made a derivative of opium and FALSELY claimed it wasn't addictive. Their FALSE claim was that you took a single pill, and you were fine for the day. If the patient still experienced pain, the way "doctors" were told to cope with this was to increase dosage which they did. Doctors aren't really doctors, they're stupid mechanics that follow orders, they don't think. Very few of them study or read or learn, they just look up symptoms, and deal drugs.

So this created addiction. The Sackler family KNEW this would create addiction. The proper thing to do was to reduce dosage but increase frequency of ingestion.

The were PURPOSELY creating addicts, in order to have a permanent stream of income.

They are drug pushers, and all of these FUCKERS should be executed.

Not fined, executed. They have killed countless 1000's if not 100's of thousands.

You know how the pharma industry lied about the efficacy of vaccines for covid, and hyped the need for them, when there was no need? These are sociopaths you're dealing with. They didn't solve a problem, they purposely created one.

You can just take raw opium to deal with pain but you need to tightly regulate your intake.

There's really no safe way to take opium or heroin. A little bit will alleviate pain, a lot of it, will make you an addict. When you're on opioids you have to be extremely careful not to become an addict. I knew people who died in college, 30 years ago, playing with heroin. Opium, you don't mess with.

When I broke my ribs, I preferred to be in such pain that I had to sleep in a chair, with a pile of blankets folded on my lap to rest my head on. If I laughed, sneezed, coughed, it was searing agonizing pain. I still wouldn't go on opium. Took me about 3 weeks before I could lie down and it was still agonizing, I couldn't lie down for nearly a month. Walking was painful. I'm glad I went through that instead of going on opium. I'll opium when I'm about to die and it doesn't matter. Took a full 6 months to mostly recover, years to really recover.

Do whatever you want, but know what you're doing.

The problem is, when somebody lies to you about the consequences about what you're doing.

People are warned that crack/meth/heroin can destroy you. You know the consequences of using these drugs.

People think that oxycontin and oxycodone are "safe" and aren't "addictive" - they are - but the Sackler family lied to the entire medical industry that they were safe, the're not.

You can take opium to deal with pain, but you have to strictly regulate it and be extremely careful with it, and even doing that, you can become an addict. Opium products are something that, I think, should only be used for palliative care. If the pain is so unbearable, that you want to die, then get on it. Most pain is bearable and temporary, you heal. If you're at end of life.... Fuck it. Addiction doesn't matter then.

About 18 years ago, my wife and I went to a wine festival with some of her coworkers. I had an undiagnosed neck problem at the time (C4/C5 herniated disc). When he found out about my pain, he gave me 2 pills. They worked amazingly well (better than any other pain meds other doctors had been giving me). I called him a couple days later trying to buy some from him. He refused to sell or give them to me. I'm sure they were the Sackler family death pills now that this comes back to my memory. I'm glad he refused. One thing I do realize about me though, I am not an addict. Although, I can say that it is definitely addictive. Yes, end of life, I'd take it all day long.
