Episode 61: The Opioid Crisis — Accident, or Deliberate Corporate Strategy?

Episode 61: The Opioid Crisis — Accident, or Deliberate Corporate Strategy?


More than half a million Americans died from opioid overdoses between 1999 and 2023. At the centre of the crisis: a single family, a single company, and a drug called OxyContin that was marketed as less addictive than other opioids. That claim was a lie. And internal documents prove the company knew it.


This episode explores:


* How Purdue Pharma's marketing campaign deliberately targeted economically vulnerable communities

* The internal email from Richard Sackler describing addicted patients as criminals

* The 2020 federal criminal guilty plea and the 2025 Sackler family settlement of $7.4 billion

* Documents showing Purdue tracked diversion and abuse reports while continuing to profit

* The millions of internal documents being released over the next fifteen years

* The argument over whether this constitutes corporate crime or deliberate conspiracy


For believers, the internal documentation — the false marketing, the deliberate targeting, the monitored abuse — is the proof that this was a strategy, not an accident. For those who resist the conspiracy framing, it is documented corporate malfeasance at the worst possible scale.


What is certain: half a million people are dead. The family responsible is still wealthy. And the documents are still being released.
