The drug lord family who is famous for causing America's opioid crisis has agreed to a settlement with 55 attorney generals from every US state.
The Sackler drug lord empire was started by Arthur, Mortimer, and Raymond Sackler, the three children of Galician Jewish immigrants, grew up in Brooklyn in the 1930s [1]. They have been described as the "most evil family in America",[5][6][7][8] and "the worst drug dealers in history".[9][10]

Historic Settlement Bars Sacklers from US Opioid Sales


In a historic settlement totaling $7.4 billion, the Sackler family has agreed to permanently cease all opioid sales in the United States and relinquish ownership of Purdue Pharma, the maker of the powerful painkiller OxyContin.

This agreement—still considered a settlement in principle—represents the largest resolution to date involving individuals held responsible for the opioid epidemic.

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced that all 55 attorneys general—from every U.S. state and territory—have signed onto the settlement, initially secured in January.
Under the terms of the deal, Purdue Pharma will be transformed into a public benefit company, with profits directed toward opioid addiction treatment and prevention. The Sacklers, who deny any wrongdoing, will contribute billions from their personal fortune—without filing for bankruptcy themselves—to a national opioid abatement trust.

According to a press release from Sunday's office, Pennsylvania could receive up to $200 million from the landmark opioid settlement over the course of 15 years, though the final amount depends on how many municipalities agree to the settlement terms. Communities nationwide will also receive direct funding over that same period to bolster addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery initiatives.

"As Pennsylvania families and communities suffered during an unprecedented addiction crisis, Purdue and the Sacklers reaped the mammoth profits from their products," Sunday said in a statement. "This monumental settlement achieves the top priority of getting as much money as quickly as possible to prevention, treatment, and recovery programs across the Commonwealth. My office will continue engagement with municipal leaders to ensure millions of dollars reach every corner of the state."

The bulk of the settlement money is scheduled for distribution within the first three years. The Sackler family will contribute $1.5 billion up front, while Purdue Pharma will pay approximately $900 million in the initial installment. Additional payments include $500 million after the first year, another $500 million in the second year, and $400 million in the third.

> Stamford, Conn. – March 18, 2025 – Purdue Pharma L.P. (“Purdue”) today filed a Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and related disclosure statement with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Assuming full creditor participation, the Plan will deliver to creditors more than $7.4 billion of cash, subject to certain reserves, to compensate victims and abate the opioid crisis. There will also be substantial value created by the continued development and distribution of lifesaving opioid use disorder and overdose rescue medicines for no profit, as well as expected insurance and other recoveries.
$7.4 billion is the exact amount the Sacklers set aside for this settlement back in March. They've effectively punished themselves and they get to keep half of their billions earned from drug dealing.
