The Sacklers thought they were immune to prosecution. They thought they had it all figured out. Yeah, they’ll bite the bullet and offer up a few billion that will solve their problems with public image, reputation, and the Justice Department. Here ya go, people of America -- we’re real sorry for killing members of your family and ruining millions of lives.
Now it seems they may not get off as easily as trump has for his crimes over the decades he committed them.
It’s interesting to see the “corporate veil” being pierced repeatedly in this landmark case. Undoubtedly, the Sacklers, like so many others since the Dutch and British invented the limited liability stock company to shelter the personal assets of the shareholders (owners) thought that they were home, free with all the billions. The development of the limited liability company was a crucial building block of capitalism, and now, as capitalism spirals into the late stages of its existence in its present form, the sacred shelter from everything, the ultimate umbrella from the shit storms of business is shredding as the lawyers and prosecutors fight over the spoils. A burn pit for the Koch Family sounds good, too!
