Sackler book

Hi there, I'm writing a book for Doubleday about the Sackler family and OxyContin. It grows out of an article I wrote for The New Yorker magazine in 2017. I'm particularly interested in the role that Richard Sackler, Kathe Sackler, Mortimer Sackler, Jonathan Sackler and other members of the family (including the older generation) played in the company. If you've got a story to tell, I'd be very interested in hearing it. If there are specific people you think I should seek out, I'd be grateful for your suggestions. Many thanks.

Read the thread on here about Russ Gasdia and you'll get lots of names that should be investigated. Each and every one of them are complicit in the Oxy nightmare, particularly Christopher Sposato.
 
Sackler family was very involved in the business! They were onsite every day (except Mortimer Sr. who lived in the UK). Richard, Jonathan, Kathe, Mortimer Jr. and Raymond were all hands-on. Also senior leadership - EVP level up - were heavily involved. Stuart Baker was most involved out of all of them. Nothing, and I mean nothing, got done unless it went through Stuart and the Sacklers personally. Every dollar, every decision, strategy and focus was all Sackler all the time.

Absolutely the truth. They set strategy and ran operations. Hands on. The executives could not go to the bathroom without asking a Sackler.
