- This.
- The Supreme Court just stopped the deal that would have let the Sackler family, the OxyContin pushers, off the hook personally.
- Hunter Biden's no-jail plea deal was rejected, and he goes to trial.

There are no criminal case against Purdue officers.
Prosecution means criminal case by the government that unfortunately will never happen in here
Prosecute = criminal = prison
Sue = civil = damages (liability)
Edit: unless you are a pedantic ass. They use different definitions.
"Civil case" means a case prosecuted by one party against another for the declaration, enforcement, or protection of a right or the redress or prevention of a wrong.

Just finished a couple shows about it. I wonder how much of Dopesick and Painkiller are true. If even 1/4 of it is, the entire family should be in prison for the rest of their lives, and that's being lenient.
That's because it's not true. The deal was not stopped. It was only delayed, but I wouldn't place blame on parent for getting this wrong; the media has done their best to imply otherwise.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, and stayed the lower court order pending their own decision. What they agreed to hear:
> The parties are directed to brief and argue the
> following question: Whether the Bankruptcy Code authorizes a
> court to approve, as part of a plan of reorganization under
> Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, a release that extinguishes
> claims held by nondebtors against nondebtor third parties,
> without the claimants’ consent.
You're right that they haven't thrown out the deal, but they've prevented it from going forward without further scrutiny as the Sacklers and their lobbyist thralls would have wanted.
Paused, and is reviewing an appeal after a court approved the deal.

It wasn't really rejected, there was no deal at all. The two parties didn't have the same understanding of a key term of the deal, the judge pointed it out, and then the parties weren't able to agree on that term.
> The Supreme Court just stopped the deal that would have let the Sackler family, the OxyContin pushers, off the hook personally.
Note, they didn't stop the deal. They temporarily paused it while they hear the case later this year. [0]
> Hunter Biden's no-jail plea deal was rejected, and he goes to trial.
Wasn't directly rejected, the judged asked questions which gave answers that hunters team felt they didn't agree to, including that he is still the subject of ongoing investigations. [1]
> At one point, Noreika asked whether the investigation was ongoing, to which Weiss responded that it was but said he could not share any further details.
> Noreika also raised a hypothetical, asking whether Biden could face charges of failing to register as a foreign agent and whether the agreement blocks his prosecution on such a charge. The defense said it believed the agreement would prohibit him from being charged, and the prosecution then disagreed.
> Clark was overheard telling a prosecutor, "Then we'll rip it up," most likely in a reference to the plea deal, as they discussed the disagreement during a brief break before he eventually relented.
