The book documents multiple direct instances of Richard Sackler being told that his drugs were affecting people in his community (an anesthesiologist in his kids school told Richard Sackler he would be a modern day Pablo Escobar for example). There is a Sackler family member who had addiction problems and committed suicide. A receptionist an aide to the upper circle of the family/company became addicted. If there is a positive part to the book it is indeed some very small sense of social justice outside of the legal system (which failed to hold them to account). Nan Goldin is an artist who lead the way in organizing protests and press that would lead to their names being taken off the very museums and universities they had paid to put their name on. They had worked hard, over multiple generations, to have clean name despite their business. Nan and others did a lot of work to make sure that changed.
