According to the article $4.8bn of the $10.8bn has already been paid in tax. So that portion has been 'recovered'. The remaining $6bn though is still in play. What I don't see being mentioned is jail time. So it's not criminal to push habit forming narcotics from behind a corporate curtain?

Basically yeah.

The "war on drugs" was pathetically laughable for reasons like this.

They also offered a $10B settlement which is mentioned near the end of the article.
