> The new company that emerges from the ashes of Purdue Pharma will be allowed to continue making and selling opioid products, including OxyContin.
> But architects of this deal say future opioid profits will go to help fund drug treatment programs.
> #PurduePharma itself will re-emerge from bankruptcy as a new company operated as a form of public trust corporation.
