The Sackler family, who ran Purdue Pharma, profited personally by pushing highly addictive drugs like Oxycontin across America by bribing doctors and hiding the true danger.
As a result, our communities have been ravaged by an opioid crisis that has touched every part of society.
Shockingly, by using a loophole in the bankruptcy system, the Sackler family was able to get lifetime immunity for their crimes by declaring corporate bankruptcy. Because it was the company and not them personally, they are not only immune from prosecution; their fortune is also largely intact.
That's why Jerry is working hard close this and other bankruptcy loopholes that allow the rich and powerful to escape accountability for their crimes. Add your name here if you support Jerry's critical work! [[link removed]]
The Sackler family isn't the only example of bankruptcy abuse. In fact, similiar tactics were used to enable the crimes of Harvey Weinstein and child sex abuser Larry Nassar.
Johnson & Johnson is also trying to use loopholes to avoid facing liability for using cancer-causing asbestos in their products.
