The Sacklers, Purdue Pharma’s owners, increased their cash offer to settle thousands of opioid cases against the company. But under the framework for a new deal, the Sacklers would not receive immunity from future opioid lawsuits.

Any financial sanctions are peanuts to the biggest dope dealers in the history of the universe. They knew what they were doing. If they're not doing hard time for it, neither should the knuckleheads trapping on the corner.
The Sacklers knew that the opioids they were pushing were highly addictive and were causing a multitude of problems. Yet, they will still be rich after the lawsuits are settled, and will not face prosecution for the deaths they caused. Justice doesn't apply to the wealthy.
I work with people who are addicted to prescription opiates every day. The healthcare system failed after the pharmaceutical industry put gas in their tank. Providing compassionate care to someone who believes the only answer is increasing doses of medication can be a great challenge.

This should be the hardest of passes, at least if they have an ounce of common sense.
But the drug dealing site "Silk Road" was just pardoned!
