The opioid crisis has resulted in over 600,000 needless deaths. Who is to blame? Many say the Sackler family, who took in billions in profits from drug sales through their company Perdue Pharma. The Supreme Court is now weighing in on that. In August, SCOTUS blocked a $6 billion opioid settlement that would have shielded the Sackler family from civil claims. The court will take up the case and hear arguments this December. USA TODAY Supreme Court Reporter John Fritze joins the 5 Things podcast to discuss the implications for both drug makers and victims.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In February 2020, attorney Joseph Fawbush wrote a piece for Findlaw.com entitled “Good News! People Think Lawyers Have an Average Amount of Integrity Now.”Just average?It's an old cliche. We often deride lawyers, often calling them "ambulance chasers," and it's no wonder given the seemingly never ending plethora of ads for law firms promising big payoffs if you're in an accident or are mistreated in a nursing home.But what's the inside story? Do lawyers really abuse the system when there's a lawsuit that results in a big judgement for the plaintiffs? Do they walk away with most of the money instead of the victims? Remember the famous Blockbuster case in which millions of customers who unfairly had been charged late fees received coupons instead of cash, while the lawyers who presented the case received millions? Filthy rich lawyers, indeed!In this episode of the Lean to the Left podcast, which also appeared on the Justice Counts podcast, legal thriller author/attorney Mark M. Bello and I take a look at this issue. It comes in an interview with attorney Brian Felgoise and co-author David Tabatsky who collaborated to write a new book, "Filthy Rich Lawyers, the Education of Ryan Coleman." It's a sometimes hilarious novel, and the opening scene sets the stage when a young, ambitious lawyer, Coleman, decked out in his best suit and fancy shoes, is dressed down by the judge for falsely claiming that his $250,000 share of a settlement would not come out of the plaintiff's piece of the pie. That scene draws you in, and as a reader, you're hooked.The attorney author, Brian Felgoise, is a graduate of Temple University Law School and has been practicing class-action law for more than 25 years, including cases where billions of dollars have been recovered for class members who lost a significant amount of money.David Tabatsky has authored, co-authored and edited many novels, including The Boy Behind the Door, Friends Like These, The Marijuana Project, The Battle of Zig Zag Pass and Drunk Log. His memoir, American Misfit, was published in 2017. Tabatsky was consulting editor for Marlo Thomas and her New York Times bestseller, The Right Words at the Right Time, Volume 2. Here's a sample of some of the questions asked and answered during the interview:Mark: There are a lot of great one-liners in the book. Here's one that sums the whole thing up: “It's a dirty job, and someone's got to do it.” Does this book play into every terrible stereotype of lawyers, or does it have something complimentary to say?Bob: In the book, there are multiple examples of lawyers receiving fees way out of proportion to the plaintiffs' recoveries. I remember the Blockbuster litigation where the litigants each got a 5 buck coupon and the lawyer's made millions. Are lawyers paid fairly in these cases or does the system need a fix?Mark: On the other side of the equation, as the book points out, you have multiple evil companies, Enron, Halliburton, Charel, Perdue Pharma, FenPhen, Big tobacco, and others, that kill, make sick, or screw people or the government out of billions. With lives and billions of dollars at stake in these cases, fees should be large for all that hard work and the recovery of all that money? A class action is really the most expedient way to resolve cases like this, true?Mark: I loved the Haliburton no-bid contract whistle-blower story in the book. That is a true story, right? Lawyers did a good job on that one, didn't they? Then you've got Enron, where lawyers received $688 million, 5 times their billable hours. Shouldn't a judge check that, as the book points out? In the book, you use the example where a painter quotes $400 to paint the house. The homeowner offers him $2,000. Should he refuse the money? Who would refuse? Should lawyers police themselves? Bob: Here's one of those quotes Mark talked about, from a big shot lawyer in the book: “I do not give a shit about Class Members. You hear me? I am only concerned with the riches I develop from the practice of law.” Is this a stereotype or true? Are there any lawyers out there who do what they do to help people or is it all just a money grab? Mark: The book is very funny. I went to David's website. As a Jewish boy myself, I enjoyed all his schtick, especially the fact that he performed magic and comedy at bar mitzvahs. I presume he's the one with the sense of humor, but is Brian funny too?Bob: Here's another big shot quote in the book: “I have the greatest practice of law in the world because I have no clients.” How can you have a practice with no clients? Is that possible in real life? Mark: Coleman and Waterman (one of the experienced guys) share an older lawyer, younger lawyer moment. The same thing happens with Coleman and Smalley, later in the book. The quote I want to point out is: “Do not speak unless spoken to.” Also, Smalley calls Coleman “son” in one of the scenes. I remember, early in my legal career, I've got a small case with this older hotshot, and he says to me: “Son, let me give you a lesson in the law.” I declined. We tried the case, and I kicked his ass. Were these situations based on real experiences in your life?Mark: And how about Coleman's initial go around with the judge? I loved it. We've all been there. A judge who goes out of his or her way to try to humiliate a young lawyer in front of his client. Very similar to the older lawyer, younger lawyer situation. After she puts on a show for the voters, she signs the order. So typical, right?Bob: Brian: How much of you is in Ryan Coleman? I don't want to ruin the book for anyone, but do the big boys succeed in corrupting him, or “educating” him as the book refers to it?Bob: And what about the world of $375 million yacht and $16,000 bottles of booze, and expensive hookers for class action lawyers. Fact or fiction?Mark: I think it was Smalley who said: “You see, Coleman, when I establish my position, no matter what it is, I will fight to the death. I'm not ever going to give up.” Is that really what it takes to be successful? No names, but is he based on a real lawyer?Bob: Another line in the book: “Practicing law is the opposite of sex. Even when it's good, it's bad.” Do you believe that, or is it just a funny line in a novel?Mark: How much of the story or the anecdotes in the story are true? How about the one where the senior partner comes in and finds a bag of shit on his desk? True?Mark: And the federal prosecutor wanting to take down Hollis and essentially blackmailing Coleman to do it. Is that based on fact?Mark: After making all that money in the class action world, why did you need to write a book? Don't you have all the money you need? Share some with David. Bob: How can people find you and your books?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

A Spring Break Special.  I take a break today from real estate and bring you something different. What an honor it is to have actress Arischa Conner on Dishin' Dirt.  Arischa, a Columbia native, stars in the Hulu Limited Series, Dopesick starring Michael Keaton.  The drama series documents the introduction of OxyContin into our communities and how Perdue Pharma knew that the medicine was addictive.  The series will absolutely piss you off but it is important to be watched. Arischa dishes dirt on working with Michael Keaton and what she has learned from starring in the series.

Rick Mountcastle is an Assistant Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Virginia and a Retired Federal Prosecutor.   Operating from a small, satellite U.S. Attorney's Office in Abingdon, Virginia, Rick led the investigation and prosecution of Purdue Pharma, as well as its CEO, General Counsel, and Chief Medical Officer, in an unprecedented case, that, at the inception of the opioid crisis, held an opioid manufacturer and its top executives criminally and civilly responsible for falsely marketing OxyContin. (This case was at the center of Beth Macy's best-selling book, "Dopesick," and the Hulu television series of the same name that first premiered in October 2021.)   After moving to the US Attorney's office headquarters in Roanoke, Virginia, Rick led the investigation and prosecution of Abbott Laboratories for its false marketing of the epilepsy drug, Depakote, resulting in criminal and civil penalties totaling $1.5 Billion (at the time the largest pharmaceutical settlement involving a single drug in U.S. history).   As acting/interim U.S. Attorney from January 2017 through April 2018, Rick led the federal response to the violence at the Charlottesville Unite-the-Right rally on August 12, 2017, personally directing the opening of the federal civil rights investigation of Heather Heyer's killer and other violent extremists, ensuring that the federal case was staffed by the office's best attorneys, coordinating with the local prosecutor's office, and coordinating with the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He also initiated the federal-state task force to address gang violence in Danville, Virginia, resulting in the return of federal indictments against members of two violent gangs.   Now with the Virginia Attorney General's Office, Rick currently works to address the opioid crisis by conducting parallel criminal-civil investigations of health care providers who prescribe controlled substances without legitimate medical purpose.   In our conversation, Rick shares insight from the Perdue Pharma case and speaks to the larger issue of corruption and how that led to America's addiction epidemic. We also discuss the negative impact of stigma toward those who struggle with addiction as well as the importance of prevention and education.

On Wednesday's late edition of #TheUpdate, is it really god's will for you to get the vaccine? A lawyer for a group trying to preserve a religious exemption for health care workers says that Governor Hochul is unjustly using God's name to try to nudge employers into ignoring court orders allowing the exemption. She's encouraging religious-minded people to get a vaccine by saying it's God's will. The objections to a historic settlement with Perdue Pharma are mounting in the form of appeals. With Rhode Island's objection, any successful appeal could undo the whole deal, not just that state's piece of it. And the number of first-dose COVID-19 vaccinations is falling in the U.S, despite the spread of vaccine requirements across the country. Some experts worry that the move to dispense booster doses could undermine the efforts to persuade the unvaccinated to get their shots in the first place. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brandon-julien/support

Patrick Radden Keefe joins us for a new installment of our "Full Bio" series. He discusses his book about the Sackler family, Empire of Pain: the Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, from the roots of their wealth, to their family dynamics, and finally, a look into their role in the opioid crisis and Perdue Pharma's current bankruptcy cases.

Perdue Pharma is fighting in bankruptcy court to insulate themselves against opioid lawsuits that could cost trillions of dollars. So what does fighting the crisis looks on the street? On Today's Show:Sessi Kuwabara Blanchard, harm reduction outreach worker at a NYC syringe exchange, program director of the DSA's Opioid Overdose Prevention Program and freelance journalist, talk about why fentanyl is becoming more ubiquitous and what we can do to prevent overdose deaths.

Sam and Emma host Patrick Radden Keefe, staff writer at the New Yorker and author of Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, on how the family behind Perdue Pharma and Oxycontin built their fortune on opioid addiction and pharmaceutical marketing. Beginning with the origin of the Sackler dynasty, Keefe walks us through how Arthur Sackler's combination of Draper-esque marketing spirit with pharmaceutical knowledge established the blueprint that the family would take forwards into the development of Oxycontin. They also cover the in-depth manipulation of the perception of the drug, particularly among medical experts, as the Sackler family capitalized on professional misconceptions regarding the potency of oxycodone, allowing them to push non-scientific addiction statistics. Beyond discussions of the Succession-type family dynamics and lack of empathy prevalent with the Sacklers, Patrick, Emma, and Sam also explore the failures of the system at every possible check, from the DOJ, DEA, and FDA to the entirety of Congress, and how many of these instances can be traced back to the Sackler fortune. They conclude the interview touching on the copious legal battles, in every state and at almost every level of court, that the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma are currently facing, and try to tackle how big their blood fortune actually is. Emma and Sam round out the free half with a discussion on NY primaries, including India Walton's big win in Buffalo, looking to become the city's first woman or socialist mayor, and a smaller chat on how NYC progressives' chances are shaping up in the mayoral race and a few city council races. And in the Fun Half: Sam gets vulnerable and flexes his performance art muscles as the crew walks through some lingering talking points from Crowder's great debate escape, before Tim Pool reminds us how the entire event was really about Sam and him. Then, Matt from PA calls in to explore the violent grip that figures on the online alt-right have on much of the public, obscuring any economic alignment they might have with the left through an emphasis on culture war, and John from San Antonio looks into socialist progress in NY and SA City Council, and reflects on how Bernie could've better managed to represent his socialist identity to the public. The fun half is wrapped up by admiring Dave Rubin's claim to the political tutelage of one Glenn Greenwald, and Meghan McCain's insistence on US fealty to the Catholic Church, plus, your calls and IMs!

Friday January 1, 2021 Sacklers Cited Fear of Lawsuits Before Moving $10 Billion Out of Perdue Pharma

Sam hosts Benjamin Dixon (@BenjaminPDixon), host of the Benjamin Dixon show to discuss the biggest stories of the week including the pending coronavirus relief measures and how progressives can wield power in a Biden-led government. On today's show: Tucker Carlson muddies the waters on the vaccine and gives a pass to any skeptics out there. Sam hosts Benjamin Dixon (@BenjaminPDixon), host of the Benjamin Dixon show to discuss the biggest stories of the week including the pending coronavirus relief measures and how progressives can wield power in a Biden-led government. Big turnout in GA, the split within the GOP, and other factors that could help the Dems in the GA runoff elections. Where should the Dems go from here in Covid relief negotiations? Ben goes off on Jimmy Dore vs AOC. Jimmy Dore says nobody on left supports AOC anymore, it only took him two weeks to do something he does not specify. On the fun half: Sackler VP during opioid crisis says she can't think of how Perdue Pharma could've done anything differently during opioid crisis. Katie Porter calls BS on Sackler Perdue Pharma bankruptcy settlement during House hearing.

Back in January, the pharmaceutical trial of Insys Therapeutics and company founder, John Kapoor faced charges of racketeering. Allegedly, he and six former sales directors operated a scheme which paid bribes to physicians to prescribe the fentanyl spray SUBSYS, a high-powered opioid pain medication. Between 2012-2016, approximately 908 people overdosed and died due as a result of SUBSYS. Unfortunately, this tale is all too familiar for some. Back in 2007, Perdue Pharma pled guilty to these same sales practices and yet, little has been done to prevent future cases. Many companies, such as Insys Therapeutics are using this same questionable marketing today. Greg recently met with John Pacenti and Pat Beall to discuss more on this story and how years later, many pharmaceutical companies are still using these age-old tactics to push dangerous prescriptions.
