Well if we're not gonna let them have immunity from future lawsuits, the least we can do is pay to defend them from the lawsuits we bring.
/S if it wasn't fuckin obvious.
Sacklers should get the firing squad.
Give them the same war chest drug traffickers are given.
Why are they negotiating with terrorists? Jail their asses
Tarred, feathered, shame walked for 20 miles without shoes, then drawn and quartered.
Technically, their defense in future cases, not this one
Really just sounds like paying $300 million less.
The Sacklers need an attitude adjustment.
An altitude adjustment I'd say. Off with their heads!
Yeah we killed a shit ton of people but we shouldn't lose our fortune over that!
Why the fuck aren't they prison?
The fucking balls. After killing so many people for greed, they want the same people who's family members and friends they murdered to fund their lawsuits against? The fucking ghouls.
Ya'll pay for that shit. I wish I could make them go into every single lawsuit personally to face these families. I just think they're so despicable. They knew people trusted their doctors, and they've forever tainted that relationship for greed. And they never stopped until forced. They knew what they were making from the jump. And for fucking what? For money (something they already had) , that they now don't want to spend on their own defense? Because they shouldn't have to pay for their own defense???? Like, are you fucking insane?
Not only that, YOU WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO HAVE A ACCOUNT JUST FOR YOUR FAMILY!? Haven't ya'll done enough? We don't have health care, housing, good schools, or even clean water in some areas, but you want a rainy day fund, just in case. You are literally offering billions. Maybe you should save some of that blood soaked money to pay for it, you fucking abominations.
Absolutely vile, vile family. Absolutely understand the name "Sacklers" because they really are sacks of shit.
