I think this is where the settlement went wrong. The Sacklers were going to remain billionaires after the $6B payout. In all real respects they were going to feel no pain. They already have way more money than any of them could hope to spend in their remaining years, and that really rubbed people the wrong way. With the immunity removed they will at least spend some of their retirement in court room after court room instead of sipping drinks on the deck of one of their many megayachts. It sucks for the victims who are realistically not going to get any help before they die, but it does send a message that you can't kill thousands (probably millions) and get off scot free.
