Well, they are going after them, if you read the article:
> The resolutions do not include the criminal release of any individuals, including members of the Sackler family, nor are any of the company’s executives or employees receiving civil releases.
That means Justice is leaving open the possibility of bringing criminal charges against the Sackler family.
The felonies they mention in the article are felonies committed by the corporation, which cannot be jailed, but -- due to the fact that Justice has forced the company to dissolve in its current state (pending approval) -- has been essentially sentenced to death. The company's assets (which are valuable and vital to public health) will be owned by a new legal person, a trust operating a public benefit corporation.
- ciarannolan 6y agoWhere are you seeing that they are going after individuals criminally? I did read the article, and it says nothing of the sort. Just that they're not ruling it out.
- tathougies 6y agoWell, that's how it starts right? The claim that they are not going after the family is not truthful. The possibility is out there, and given that they have just secured one fo the largest judgements ever against a pharma company, Justice is clearly not afraid of the Sackler family.
