It's a damn good deal for the sack-of-shit-Sackler family especially. They took out something to the tune of $10 BILLION from Purdue Pharma and are only on the hook for about $50 mil. Nice profit margin right there.

They killed my friends with those drugs. That’s the impact they had. They deserve life behind bars.

They are on the hook for a couple billion not $50 million.

That still seems like eight billion dollars short of ten billion.
