Welcome to the Sackler Family Vomitorium ...

https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/03/24/health/sackler-lawsuit/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.google.com%2F

More than 600 cities, counties and Native American tribes from 28 states have filed a federal lawsuit against eight members of the Sackler family. Like other suits that have been filed, this one alleges the Sackler family made a fortune by using deceptive marketing to sell addictive and potentially deadly painkillers.

"Eight people in a single family made the choices that caused much of the opioid epidemic,"

** the decision of 8 people ruined the lives of countless families because of their lust for money and power - the power to kill indiscriminately w/o guilt or remorse. Psychopaths.

"Because they controlled their own privately held drug company, the Sackler Defendants had the power to decide how addictive narcotics were sold. They got more patients on opioids, at higher doses, for longer, than ever before. They paid themselves billions of dollars. They are responsible for addiction, overdose, and death that damaged millions of lives. They should be held accountable now."

** Read this - over and over ... esp'ly if you lost a loved one.

The lawsuit does not specify the amount of monetary damages (try billions) sought. The suits seeks a number of actions, including having the Sacklers issue "corrective advertising statements" in national and regional publications, medical journals, television shows and websites.

** No, make each defendant issue a personal apology (while attired in striped prison jumpsuits) along with 'donating' all their money & assets. Corporations are people, you say? Fine, people suffer the consequences of their actions, too. Forgot about that part, didn't ya?

The plaintiffs say they deserve compensation because the opioid crisis increased costs for law enforcement, child care for children of people addicted to opioids and physical and mental health treatment. The plaintiffs also say property values decreased in some areas because of the drug epidemic.

** Ill-gotten gains, all of it. Strip them of all their assets. This is not about individual addicts.

"These baseless allegations place blame where it does not belong for a complex public health crisis, and we deny them. The company our fathers and grandfathers founded manufactures an FDA-approved medicine that has always represented a tiny portion of the opioid market -- never more than four percent of nationwide opioid prescriptions and currently less than two percent. ... The suit doesn't mention that Purdue's opioid pain medicines represent less than 2% of total opioid prescriptions.

** A burgler breaks in, steals thousands of dollars of stuff - jewelry, cash, etc. The thief, in his defense, says he should not be held accountable for the crime b/c the amount he stole is only a tiny fraction of all the thefts that have already taken place. So b/c I have not commited the majority of these crimes I cannot be held accountable for this crime. ** the FDA aids and abets these criminals and then they, the Sackler criminal family, throw them, the FDA, under the bus. True psychopaths.

"While we have always acted properly, we remain committed to making a meaningful contribution to solutions that save lives by preventing diversion and abuse of prescription medicines and treating those who are suffering from addiction."

** No, seriously, we are the good guys - waa, waa, waa - GFY

"This complaint is part of a continuing effort by contingency fee counsel to single out Purdue, blame it for the entire opioid crisis in the United States, and try the case in the court of public opinion rather than the justice system,"

** Only rich a/h's can play the 'class warfare' card. Use hyperbole to obscure the truth. See, these are poor people who are jealous of our success and are trying to steal our money b/c they are lazy and immoral. Any wonder people hate lawyers? And what if the court of public opinion just happens to be spot on correct ???

"Purdue Pharma and the individual former directors vigorously denies the allegations in the complaint and will continue to defend themselves against these misleading allegations. In the meantime, Purdue continues to fight for balance in the public discourse so that society can simultaneously help pain patients in need and create real solutions to the complex problem of addiction."

** Has there ever been a defendant that 'passively' denies the allegations ??? ** 'fight for balance' - nice - in case you haven't noticed, that is EXACTLY what IS happening.

Named as defendants are Richard S. Sackler, Jonathan D. Sackler, Mortimer D.A. Sackler, Kathe A. Sackler, Ilene Sackler Lefcourt, Beverly Sackler, Theresa Sackler, David A. Sackler, a trust for members of the Raymond Sackler family and Rhodes Pharmaceuticals.

** Thanks for the list - Indict (confiscate passports, freeze all assets, foreign & domestic), Arrest - with full media coverage (cavity search, isolate each one, interrogate), Put on trial (no plea bargain), Convict & Sentence (life w/o parole in an actual unpleasant prison, not a Club Fed). Mass serial killers deserve no less. -- But, Judge, I didn't pull the trigger !!! I only suggested the crime, paid money for them to do it, provided the gun, the bullets, and a secure location !!! I'm innocent !!!

... the number of US drug overdose deaths has grown from 47,000 in 2014 to an estimated 72,000 in 2017, with three out of five deaths involving opioids. The suit says the family increased sales by creating a "new 'health care' narrative - one in which opioids are considered safe and effective for long-term use, and pain is aggressively treated at all costs."

The suit says the family and its companies "intentionally misled doctors and patients" about the safe use of prescription opioids through sales representatives and through "financial relationships with academic physicians, professional societies, hospitals, trade associations for state medical boards and seemingly neutral third-party foundations."

- How is this not Criminal Fraud and Conspiracy ??? & they forgot (or intentionally omitted?) the FDA complicity. Aiding and Abetting, w/ knowledge, is also a crime.
