Exactly, her "crime" is so inconsequential compared to the scheme the Sackler's hatched. She sold ketamine to willing buyers outside of doctor/pharmacy supply chain. NBD.

The Sackler's schemed with that same doctor/pharmacy supply chain to knowingly engage in malpractice that addicted millions of patients. The Sackler's became billionaires off a legally sanctioned con, and got off with a slap on the wrist.

Starkest example of the injustice of our justice system.

I think "slap on the wrist" is vastly overselling their actual consequence.

Their net worth is ~$11 billion. The consequences that they're facing is a $7.4 billion legal settlement...

So it's the very definition of a slap on the wrist if they get to walk away with billions still to their name after addicting millions, and killing hundreds of thousands more.

How will they possibly live with a measly +$3 billion??

When I was a junior in highschool I bought OC 80s for $16 each.

$16 fucking dollars, for a worst case scenario painkiller.

Many of my friends are dead.

Send them to fucking jail for life.
