Supreme Court blocks OxyContin maker’s bankruptcy deal that would shield Sackler family members
The Supreme Court has blocked a nationwide settlement with OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma that would shield members of the Sackler family who own the company from civil lawsuits over the toll of opioids.
This is epic AF. I thought these dope pushers were gonna get away scot free, there for a while.

The court didn't make a verdict, they agreed to hear the case. The lower court sided with letting the opiote company getting away.
This is a really important point people seem to be missing. SCOTUS has only temporarily blocked the deal until they hear arguments in the case. Given what we now know about some of the justices, I wouldn't hold my breath that rich people will be held accountable.
