The train always takes a turn when people read the forward.

Tufts university to review ties to the Sacklers in light of “deeply troubling” Massachusetts findings. I wonder if other institutions will follow their lead (and if any of these “reviews” will result in action.)

PS: for those who haven't read my original piece on the Sackler family and are curious to learn more, it's here.

The Guggenheim, the Natural History Museum, Yale, the V&A, and on and on. Like buying meals for doctors, they spend the $$, because it works. Reputation laundering works. But next time you patronize one of these institutions, consider the above. And know they're OK with it.

I'll leave you with this, though: after my piece, and a piece in Esquire, the NYT asked 21 cultural institutions that have taken OxyContin $$ if they would give it back or strip the Sackler name. But "few seemed concerned."

(*Sackler PR team high-five: "On the upside, people appear to stop reading from sheer exhaustion after 200 pages!*)

So there's literally another 100 pp of this filing but I just don't have the heart. You get the idea.

Nothing to see here: "Purdue’s top-paid physician consultant in Massachusetts at the time, Walter Jacobs, had a patient on TWENTY-FOUR pills of 80mg OxyContin per day."

This I knew but it's worth dwelling on if only for the breathtaking cynicism: 2018, Richard Sackler acknowledges that, as it turns out, opioids ARE addictive----and asks for a patent on a new drug to treat the "junkies" (his word!) who are addicted. Capitalism...is...amazing.

2017: staff tells the Sacklers "Purdue needs a new approach." They advocate re-branding with a campaign about "appropriate use." (Now there's an idea!) But the Sacklers don't go for it. Staff proposes the Sacklers create a foundation to address the opioid crisis. No dice.

2015: America is in the grips of an epic public health crisis. Doctors are less cool than they used to be about prescribing OxyContin in large doses for long stretches. For the Sacklers, THIS is the crisis. They're losing $77 million a year!

You can't make this up: after press reports about a Kentucky lawsuit involving lots and lots of dead people, Purdue's communications staff exchange high fives -- because at least the press coverage doesn't mention the Sacklers!

I'm only halfway through this damn thing and beginning to doubt the utility of live-tweeting every paragraph but it's all so appalling. By 2014, sales have leveled off and the Sacklers are not happy! So Purdue refocuses on their "high value" prescribers -- i.e. the dodgiest docs:

This filing is damning not just because it documents the Sackler clan directing the marketing push for Oxy - but directing it very recently, *in the face of an already raging opioid crisis*. When states tried to pass bills to curb abuse, the Sacklers & Purdue pushed to kill them:

“Staff told the Sacklers drug overdose deaths had more than tripled and that tens of thousands of deaths were only ‘the tip of the iceberg.’” (This in a section about how the Sacklers continued to push obsessively in this period for aggressive marketing and increased sales)

Doctors often insist their medical judgment would never be swayed by the boondoggles and other inducements of Pharma companies. According to this filing, Purdue’s budget just for meals bought for doctors who prescribe opioids was *$9 million a year*

People, whatever your business, it’s generally not a good sign when you run something by your compliance dept. and they write back “LOL”
