No one got arrested for 2008. Has anyone been arrested for the Opiate crisis?

Oligarchs don't have the same laws as the rest of us.

Let's imagine you were a federal prosecutor. Who specifically would you indict for the 2008 crisis, and on what specific charge?

Let's not, because it's a pointless exercise. I'm not a federal prosecutor with the powers to investigate the malfeasance of white collar criminals.
