💊 For families, a $6B deal with OxyContin maker is just a start

For those many who lost loved ones in the opioid crisis, making sure the family behind OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma paid the price was never just about money. What many wanted was a chance to confront the Sackler family face to face, to make them feel their pain.

The deal, which must be approved by a federal bankruptcy judge, requires the Sacklers pay as much as $6 billion, with $750 million for victims and their survivors. Most of the rest will go to state and local governments to slow the crisis. The Sackler family must also give up ownership of their company, with any new entity’s profits going toward fighting opioid addiction through treatment and education programs.

Sackler family members have never offered an unequivocal apology, but on Thursday their press office issued a statement of regret about the toll of OxyContin.
