The whereabouts of Richard Sackler now, is something viewers of Netflix's Painkiller have been wondering - we take a look at what happened to the former Perdue Pharma president.
Netflix's Painkiller is a fictionalized retelling of events surrounding the origins of America's devastating opioid crisis. This has already been highlighted by last year's Dopesick, but there will sadly always be enough stories of victims and justice-seekers whose lives will never be the same after OxyContin came onto the market, for a new take on the horrifying scenario. As president of Purdue Pharma, Sackler and some of his family members have faced lawsuits regarding failings surrounding over prescription of addictive drugs. Highly criticized for his part in the opioid epidemic, we take a look at where Richard Sackler is now, and the Sackler family net worth.
