Description

America's opioid crisis has had the biggest and most dramatic effect on a the Sackler family. No, it didn't kill anyone within the family. Instead, it made them billions. In this episode of ColdFusion we take a look at how one family's greed and lust for money caused one of the United States greatest health epidemics, killing over two-hundred thousand people, and leaving hundreds of thousands more dependent to a drug 50-times more addictive than morphine. The Slacker family's aggressive sales tactics, bribes, lies, and greed has destroyed lives, communities, and shattered families. An army of doctors helped the Slackers rake in billions, violating their sacred oath to protect their patients, prescribing death sentences in the form of oxycodone in exchange for money.
