The Sackler Family, Worst Drug Dealers in America ... and They're Filthy Rich

Mortimer Sackler was co-owner for Purdue Pharma which brought the world Oxycontin and Sackler was the huckster king who promoted it brazenly, he had a specific (i.e. bad) reputation for that.  Fortunately, he is already burning in hellfire so we don't have to send him to the Saudis to remove his headgear.  (New York Times: Mortimer D. Sackler, Arts Patron, Dies at 93)

Isn't that a peach, huh.  When a Mafia heroin king dies, it will usually be in jail and no-one will even notice.  When the seller of the drug dies and that seller is most responsible for creating more junkies than any other cause, he's proclaimed as a patron of the arts.

He really was a patron of the arts as he gave lavish gifts to the Guggenheim so apparently it didn't bother them to see what he gives is blood money.  Perhaps the ongoing strangulation of the National Endowment of the Arts by the GOP leaves them few other choices.

Note:  that strangulation has nothing to do with the budget as the cost for the National Endowment of the Arts is trivial.  It's the same situation as NASA and they just chap it back to be controlling pricks since the budget saving is well underneath minor.




Purdue Pharma couldn't even afford the art on toilet walls until Oxycontin and then it went almost overnight to three billion dollars in value and Oxycontin was eighty percent of that.  Who knew ... just supply the narcotics and the world is your junkie to own.

(Ed:  everybody knows that)

Yes and so did he.  The company paid millions in fines for false promotion in saying it was not as addictive as illegal narcotics, etc.  It never stopped them, tho.

So his passing is heralded as a loss to the arts.  Really what they should have been doing is pissing on his grave for all the people who died because of him.  They continue dying because the Sackler family is never going to give up that golden goose, no matter how addictive it may be.

The is a cemetery in Mexico where the Capos of the drug cartels are buried. The tombs are reportedly tje most extravagant in the world. Some two story Taj Mahal structures with air conditioning

It would be tough to ever top the hypocrisy of the Sackler people, tho. I never heard of a Mafia don getting a lavish write-up when he croaked either.

I'm not quite getting the concept with an air-conditioned crypt, tho. That has a major weird in it.

It all sounds sick ... but that Don ain't sick, that Don is fookin' dead.
