Cars pass Purdue Pharma headquarters Thursday, Sept. 12, 2019, in Stamford, Conn. For months, the judge overseeing national litigation over the opioids crisis urged all sides to reach a settlement that could end thousands of lawsuits filed by state and local governments. But the chaotic developments this week in the case against OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma underscore how difficult that goal is.
New York — asking a judge to enforce subpoenas of companies, banks and advisers to Purdue and its owners, the Sackler family — said it has already documented $1 billion in transfers between those parties. Representatives for the branch of the family that includes Mortimer D.A. Sackler did not immediately respond to requests for comment.tentative settlement
As part of the settlement, Purdue is likely to soon file for bankruptcy protection. But New York and other states have promised they will continue to pursue the Sacklers, alleging that family members drained more than $4 billion from the company over the past dozen years to avoid future legal claims.
I just wonder if the Swiss bankers feel any shame for hiding money for criminals?
I thought trump was going to end the $$ corruption/avoidance of u.s. taxes ,of off shore accounts?. POTUS .
SIMPLE WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS. TAKE OVER the company- put the owners in prison before a trail and take control of their money.. totally illegal but they are criminals.. lock them up
Typical wealthy crooks.
AndrewCassNH Considering government is blaming them for health care providers actually legally transferring narcotics to patients through prescription. The police should really be freezing the judge's finances.
The Sackler family. Print their name cowards.
This is news, but it ain't new. This is what they do, man.
May they rot in hell.
Sounding pretty shady.
Who knew the Trump family was involved. I’m shocked.

Some states say tentative settlement in Purdue Pharma opioid case is not good enoughOxyContin maker Purdue Pharma reached a tentative deal Wednesday with about half the states and thousands of local governments over its role in the nation’s deadly opioid epidemic, but criticism by several state attorneys general clouded prospects for an end to litigation against the company and the family that owns it. The bullshit lie that opiates was the cause of veterans suicides show's how fucked up this country is. Stats are out and opiates where not the the cause. They used veterans and lied saying those with chronic pain are suicidal drug addicts. The 'alternative' side effect suicidal. It's wrong to penalize drug manufacturers, if they're FDR approved & following prescriptions as labeled. It isn't their fault people overuse drugs.

At least 16 states reject deal with OxyContin maker Purdue PharmaPurdue has reached a tentative multi-billion-dollar settlement with at least 27 states and territories. But 16 states told NBC News they said no. Why is it that the decision amongst Governors to accept or decline the offer from Purdue falls along party lines. I’ll give you one guess which party’s reps say take the $12 billion & then leave the poor sackler family alone. Everyone involved needs to go to jail for murder for the rest of their lives. Anything else is rich people 'justice.' purduepharma Take the money 💰.
