But David S. Neufeld, an international tax lawyer who works with wealthy clients and closely held companies, said the layered, partly offshore structure used to control Purdue, while not typical, is also not that uncommon. It adds that their Connecticut-based pharmaceutical firm Purdue Pharma “instructed patients and prescribers that signs of addiction are actually indications of untreated pain, such that the appropriate response is to prescribe even more opioids”. In 1952, he and his two younger brothers, Mortimer and Raymond (who were also psychiatrists and who have since died), bought a small company called Purdue Frederick. Against Richard, Jonathan, Kathe, Mortimer and Theresa Sackler: Some pill sales representatives reported to the above directors of Purdue their concerns that certain “core” doctors were writing “inappropriate” prescriptions. Kathe and staff “wrote down what Purdue had publicly denied”: that addictive opioids and opioid addiction are “naturally linked”. The business operations of Rhodes, based in Rhode Island, and Purdue, based in Connecticut, were closely enmeshed. They got more patients on opioids, at higher doses, for longer, than ever before [and] paid themselves billions.”. The company, the document said, could make money at both ends of the funnel as an “end-to-end pain provider.” Dr. Kathe Sackler, one of the eight family members sitting on Purdue’s board, instructed employees to devote “immediate attention” to the effort, according to an email included in the Massachusetts filing.

Together, the cases lay out the extensive involvement of a family that has largely escaped personal legal consequences for Purdue Pharma’s role in an epidemic that has led to hundreds of thousands of overdose deaths in the past two decades.
