Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if Congress does some kind of claw back to get the money.
I sort of feel bad for the family because they just followed what company reps said about advertising and stuff.
I do not feel bad about taking back that 8-12 billion they’ve earned over the years.

Purdue pharma knew oxycontin didn't last 12 hours for a lot of people. They didn't want to lose their approval and/or sales so they pushed doctors to increase doses. They are personally responsible for deaths. The Sackler's had to know this was happening. They should be criminally responsible for deaths.

They should indeed. Same goes for the executives in the tobacco industry.
