Bet the Sackler family is real nervous now

Really nervous.

Context: this family of carrion and sacks of shit are responsible for the Oxycontin epidemic that killed many Americans and led to the opioid crisis.

6. Apparently this CEO at UHC also had security. No one knows where he was this AM.

Apparently, even customer service agents at Blue Cross get death threats, BCBS frequently gets bomb threats. All the CEOs at these big insurance companies have security detail.

Major surgery, two nights in the hospital. As I was discharged the Doctor gave me a prescription for 100 OxyContin pills. He told me, about 11 tonight you’ll need one. 11 O’clock came and I was doing fine but the Doctor Said to take one so I did. That was the only one I took and properly disposed of the rest. I was one of the lucky ones. I have a special feeling for the family you mention.

The last I heard they were getting a sweetheart deal. Have to relinquish the company, but they all get to keep the blood money, and no prosecution. Has something changed?
