David Chisholm, 64, of Wasilla, Alaska, has been sentenced to 34 months in prison for illegally prescribing opioids to 350 patients, which resulted in five overdoses.
A federal judge overturned an estimated $4.5 billion settlement that legally shielded members of the Sackler family, owners of Purdue Pharma who stand accused of helping fuel the opioid epidemic in the U.S.
One can argue that Rush Limbaugh was already dead the moment he started taking opioids, which became an addiction. The opioid phenomena got exploded over the years. Who is responsible for the opioid crisis? Who is essentially overdosing America with OxiCotin and Percocet? Muslim extremists? Black gangs? The main culprit behind the drugs is the Sackler family.
The Sackler family created Purdue Pharma, which has already cashed in at least $35 billion from essentially overdosing America. It was reported in 2020 that a federal bankruptcy judge charged Purdue Pharma of “three felony counts of criminal wrongdoing,” where they had to pay $3.8 billion.
