  2. Purdue, whose painkiller OxyContin has been widely blamed for fueling the opioid crisis in the U.S., set aside about $865 million for victims, but strict paperwork requirements mean many may never be compensated. japantimes.co.jp/business/2026 #business #companies #pharmaceuticals #oxycontin #drugs #purduepharma #us #court #lawsuits

  4. So, I just finished reading DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. It was utterly unputdownable, I got mad at my family for speaking to me while I was reading it, and when I read the final sentence and closed the book all I could say was "DAMN."

    Highly recommend, y'all. HIGHEST OF HIGHLY.

  5. The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.

    "James Hodes, a US-based #criminal #defence lawyer, was sceptical about the #DOJ’s approach. “This is not something new,” he said. “The #Department of #Justice often lets people and corporations off the hook if they are too big or consequential to #prosecute fully. Just look at the lack of prosecution of any #corporate officers on the whole #OxyContin situation.”"

  13. As the #Potus #Debate begins tonight, consider:

    #SCotUS suspended a $6B judgment against against the #Sackler family (whose company made #Oxycontin) in favor of the families of their victims.

    To explain his vote to suspend the ruling, Justice #Gorsuch said (quote) "there may be a better deal on the horizon."

    "Better deal" for *who*? Is that "horizon" a T**** reelection? 🤔

    The #SupremeCourt blocked a controversial proposed Purdue #Pharma bankruptcy plan that would have provided billions to help address the nation’s #OpioidCrisis in exchange for protecting the #Sackler family from future lawsuits.
