## Resource

2,600 lawsuits. $11 billion moved into private trusts. A bankruptcy designed as a shield. And a Supreme Court that said no. Garret Fisher concludes the Purdue Pharma story — covering the wave of lawsuits that broke against the company, the bankruptcy filing the Sacklers used to try to insulate their personal fortune from accountability, and the families of overdose victims who showed up to depositions of Sackler family members holding photographs of their dead children and refused to be treated as a line item. Then the Supreme Court's landmark June 2024 ruling that struck down the deal shielding the Sacklers from personal liability — and the $7.4 billion settlement that followed, approved in November 2025, which permanently bans the family from the opioid business, dissolves Purdue Pharma entirely, and will release 30 million internal documents to the public. What accountability looks like when you have $11 billion and the best lawyers money can buy. And what it looks like when you don't, but you show up anyway with a photograph.
