In this episode we investigate the post-Arthur Sackler era, when his brothers Mortimer and Raymond, alongside their children, took Purdue Pharma to new heights. With OxyContin as their cash cow, the new generation of Sacklers not only sustained but aggressively expanded the opioid epidemic. Join us as we explore how their calculated decisions prioritized profit over lives, amplifying the crisis that continues to haunt communities today.
