The dissent basically says that a deal was reached to get money from this company and all 50 state’s attorney generals supported this. This decision results in that money possibly being lost and opioid victims never getting paid.
I don’t know enough about it though. Seems like the money part of the bankruptcy should not shield the criminals from going to jail. But it sounds like it might be.
Which is exactly why its not tenable. Why are they negotiating with terrorists? $6 billion is nothing, shave it off the defense budget.
Its way more important that these people are put away and serve as an example, like they do in China. Any small-time drug dealer seling Oxy would have been practically crucified even in the US compared to the Sacklers who were driving the entire addiction campaigns and mess, also the consulting firms. Why is civil forefeiture only a fear for the poors/rest of us. Forfeit now, they can litigate it out later from prison
There’s endless fuckery happening and not so much findoutery. That desperately needs to change. I love that scene in Billions when the fraudster investor guy is begging his DA buddy to let him go, and he’s like “I’m sorry, I can’t. But I know you’re gonna go away for a while and come out a new and better man ☺️”. These people need way tougher love than that but you get the idea
