Purdue Pharma, once owned by the Sackler family, made the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin. As addictions rapidly spread, victims filed lawsuits. The suits and damage claims numbered in the trillions of dollars. In 2019, the Sackler family gave up control of Purdue Pharma. The company filed for bankruptcy. A reorganization plan deal struck included a trust for victims' compensation with the Sackler family contributing $6 billion.
