Ryan Hampton | The Opioid Crisis, The Sackler Family, & The Purdue Pharma Case
Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy and the Sackler Immunity Scam
Purdue Pharma utilized Chapter 11 bankruptcy in White Plains, New York, to pause over 2,700 lawsuits and seek a "non-consensual third-party release." This legal maneuver, overseen by Judge Robert D. Drain, allows the Sackler family to obtain civil immunity from opioid-related litigation without filing for personal bankruptcy. Critics argue this "billionaire justice" could leave the Sacklers wealthier than before the settlement due to investment returns.
