Jag hittar ingen tråd om detta omskrivna fall så jag startar en här. Modsen får väl ta bort den om jag missat sökningen. En domare har just rivit upp konkursansökan från Purdue Pharma.
Familjen Sackler anklagas för en "epidemi" av användande av det vanebildande preparatet OcyContin (i Sverige finns Oxykodon under namnen OxyContin, OxyNorm och Targiniq). Familjen Sackler skulle betala 4.5 miljarder dollar men domaren river upp avtalet eftersom det friskriver familjen från personligt ansvar. Kommer säkert att överklagas.

Judge rejects opioid settlement over legal protections for Sackler family
Purdue Pharma deal arranged for the family to be guarded from lawsuits over their role in the US epidemic
Purdue sought bankruptcy protection in 2019 as it faced thousands of lawsuits claiming the company pushed doctors to prescribe OxyContin, helping spark an opioid crisis that has been linked to more than 500,000 deaths in the US over the last two decades.
Sackler family members also would contribute $4.5bn in cash and charitable assets as part of an overall deal that could be worth $10bn, including the value of the new drugs, if they’re brought to market.
Most state and local governments, Indigenous tribes, individual opioid victims and others who voted said the plan worked out in the bankruptcy court should be accepted.
But the US bankruptcy trustee’s office, eight state attorneys general and some other entities have been fighting the deal. They argue that it does not properly hold members of the Sackler family accountable and that it usurps states’ ability to try to do so.
The Purdue deal would not protect family members from any criminal charges. But so far none have been filed.

Judge Robert Drain of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains, N.Y., approved the settlement, saying he wanted modest adjustments. The painstakingly negotiated plan will end thousands of lawsuits brought by state and local governments, tribes, hospitals and individuals to address a public health crisis that led to the deaths of more than 500,000 people nationwide.
But the agreement includes a much-disputed condition: It largely absolves the Sacklers of Purdue’s opioid-related liability. And as such, they will remain among the richest families in the country.

The Purdue Pharma Deal Would Deliver Billions, But Individual Payouts Will Be Small
The multibillion-dollar bankruptcy settlement with Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family is grounded in an opioid crisis that has injured or killed an untold number of Americans.
But many of the 138,000 individuals who've filed claims for a death, expenses tied to their addiction or the birth of a child exposed to opioids during pregnancy expect to receive little if anything from the deal.
About 90% of the settlement, which could deliver between $6 billion and $10 billion over time, will go to states, local governments and tribes. They're supposed to use it to fight the opioid crisis.

Don’t strip the Sackler name from museums. It’s a visceral reminder of human greed
New York’s Metropolitan Museum has cut public ties with the Purdue Pharma opioid-crisis family. But its name is now as thought-provoking as much of the world’s art

Opioid bakom knarkepidemi ökar kraftigt i Sverige [2018 --ed]
Smärtstillaren Oxycontin ligger bakom opiatepidemin i USA. De senaste tio åren har utskrivningen av läkemedel som innehåller samma opioid ökat kraftigt i Sverige.
– På ett par veckor kan man ha börjat utveckla ett beroende, säger överläkaren Niklas Preger.
