A Purdue Pharma spokesman told Reuters that the company was looking at all options, but had not yet made a decision.

Sure to go down as one of the greatest examples of financial piracy in corporate history. The Sackler Family represent all that is broken in our world today.

Just sell them over the counter

So, nobody seems to think prescribing doctors have anything to do with this horrible addiction problem? So, nobody thinks there SHOULD be powerful pain meds for surgical and cancer reasons, for instance? Good luck surviving w/o if you need it.

Convenient

I always laugh at how many people direct their anger towards Purdue University about this, even though they have nothing to do with Purdue Pharma.

Build a massive fortune by taking advantage of a highly addictive drug, watch tens of thousands spiral into addiction and die, cut and run before the public sphere has an opportunity respond and regulate. The American Dream is alive, people.

Makes sense, they've been morally bankrupt since day one.
