Seznamte se s\u00a0rodinou Sacklerov\u00fdch(*), kter\u00e1 si uhn\u011btla z opiov\u00e9 pandemie ve Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1tech kuli\u010dku v\u00a0hodnot\u011b 14 miliard dolar\u016f a vy\u0161plhala se na \u0161estn\u00e1ctou p\u0159\u00ed\u010dku americk\u00fdch super bohatc\u016f.

Ale pravd\u011bpodobn\u011b jste na\u0161li v\u00a0na\u0161em tisku zm\u00ednku o produktu, kter\u00fd je vynesl mezi pomazan\u00e9 a vyvolen\u00e9 1% z\u00a01%. Byl to OxyContin, opiov\u00fd prost\u0159edek na uti\u0161en\u00ed bolesti, kter\u00fd se stal v\u00a0Americe nejobl\u00edben\u011bj\u0161\u00edm opi\u00e1tem stolet\u00ed. Rodina Sacklerov\u00fdch jej vyr\u00e1b\u011bla ve sv\u00e9 tov\u00e1rn\u011b na l\u00e9ky Purdue Pharma ve Stamfordu ve st\u00e1t\u011b Connecticut. Na trh jej uvedli v\u00a0roce 1996 brat\u0159i Arthur, Mortimer a Raymond Sacklerovi. Byla to bonanza, kter\u00e1 vyn\u00e1\u0161ela v\u00a0posledn\u00edch dvaceti letech v\u00a0pr\u016fm\u011bru t\u0159i miliardy dolar\u016f ro\u010dn\u011b, co\u017e dovolovalo vypl\u00e1cet v\u0161em \u010dlen\u016fm rodiny kr\u00e1lovsk\u00e9 apan\u00e1\u017ee a je\u0161t\u011b ul\u00edvat des\u00edtky miliard v\u00a0da\u0148ov\u00fdch r\u00e1j\u00edch.<\/p>\n

T\u0159i inkriminovan\u00ed brat\u0159i najali \u0161pi\u010dkov\u00e9 odborn\u00edky na bolesti, aby p\u0159eh\u00e1n\u011bli probl\u00e9m nel\u00e9\u010den\u00e9ho chronick\u00e9ho utrpen\u00ed a vyn\u00e1\u0161eli do nebes uti\u0161uj\u00edc\u00ed \u00fa\u010dinek OxyContinu.

Hlavn\u00ed ukol\u00e9bavkou byla mantra, \u017ee OxyContin nen\u00ed n\u00e1vykov\u00fd, a\u010dkoli prav\u00fd opak je pravdou. B\u011bhem posledn\u00edch deseti let zem\u0159elo v\u00edc jak 200.000 Ameri\u010dan\u016f na p\u0159ed\u00e1vkov\u00e1n\u00ed OxyContinem a jin\u00fdmi opiov\u00fdmi l\u00e9ky. \u010cty\u0159i z\u00a0ka\u017ed\u00fdch p\u011bti u\u017eivatel\u016f p\u0159e\u0161li na tvrd\u0161\u00ed drogu jako je heroin anebo je\u0161t\u011b smrteln\u011bj\u0161\u00ed fenatyl.<\/p>\n

V\u00a0sou\u010dasn\u00e9 dob\u011b se p\u0159ed soudem v\u00a0New Yorku odehr\u00e1v\u00e1 z\u00e1v\u011br posledn\u00edho d\u011bjstv\u00ed vlekl\u00e9ho procesu, v\u00a0n\u011bm\u017e majitel\u00e9 Purdue Pharma \u010del\u00ed 3.000 ob\u017ealob\u00e1m americk\u00fdch st\u00e1t\u016f, m\u00edstn\u00edch administrac\u00ed, nemocnic, odbor\u016f, z\u00e1jmov\u00fdch skupin a jednotlivc\u016f. Je to jakoby cel\u00e1 Amerika povstala a obvinila Purdue Pharma z\u00a0podpalovan\u00ed a \u017eiven\u00ed opiatov\u00e9 krize v\u00a0zemi, kter\u00e1 ji\u017e p\u0159ipravila o \u017eivot v\u00edc jak p\u016fl milionu Ameri\u010dan\u016f a stoj\u00ed denn\u011b miliony dolar\u016f z\u00a0kapes poplatn\u00edk\u016f.<\/p>\n

Jedn\u00e1n\u00ed se kon\u00e1 ve White Plains, NY, v s\u00eddle soudu pro bankroty, kde p\u0159ed dv\u011bma lety Sacklerov\u00e9 po\u017e\u00e1dali o povolen\u00ed zav\u0159\u00edt Purdue Pharma vyhl\u00e1sit \u00fapadek. To je v\u011bkem osv\u011bd\u010den\u00e1 finta, jak se nabalit z\u00a0ciz\u00edch pen\u011bz, o\u0161ulit investory a zbavit se dluh\u016f. Kasa je pr\u00e1zdn\u00e1, a kde nic nen\u00ed, ani smrt nebere. V\u00a0dan\u00e9m p\u0159\u00edpad\u011b jde p\u0159edev\u0161\u00edm o to, jak si nad Purdue Pharma um\u00fdt ruce a ochr\u00e1nit se p\u0159ed dal\u0161\u00edmi \u017ealobami.

Soudce Robert Drain, kter\u00fd \u0159\u00edd\u00ed proces, p\u0159ipravil v\u00a0tomto duchu kompromisn\u00ed pl\u00e1n bankrotu Purdue Pharma. Tato farmaceutick\u00e1 firma ocen\u011bn\u00e1 na 10 miliard dolar\u016f, bude rozpu\u0161t\u011bna a jej\u00ed majetek p\u0159esunut do nov\u011b vytvo\u0159en\u00e9 spole\u010dnosti. Bude ji vlastnit trust a m\u00e1 pom\u00e1hat v\u00a0boji proti opiatov\u00e9 krizi, vyvolan\u00e9 l\u017eivou prodejn\u00ed kampan\u00ed OxyContinu. Pl\u00e1n zahrnuje pokutu ve v\u00fd\u0161i 4.5 miliard dolar\u016f, kterou \u010dlenov\u00e9 Sacklerovy rodiny budou muset zaplatit b\u011bhem deseti let. Z\u00a0t\u011bchto pen\u011bz, plus 175 milion\u016f p\u016fvodn\u011b ur\u010den\u00fdch na charitativn\u00ed \u00fa\u010dely, vznikne kompenza\u010dn\u00ed fond pro ob\u011bti OxyContinu.<\/p>\n

Tato vykut\u00e1len\u00e1 rodinka nese p\u0159\u00edmou a prokazatelnou odpov\u011bdnost za \u00famrt\u00ed p\u0159i nejmen\u0161\u00edm 18.000 Ameri\u010dan\u016f.

\u201eTohle je ho\u0159k\u00fd v\u00fdsledek,\u201c \u0159ekl.<\/p>\n

Svat\u00e1 pravda. V\u00fdsledek by jist\u011b byl lep\u0161\u00ed, kdyby Robert Drain m\u00edsto hled\u00e1n\u00ed sm\u00edrn\u00e9ho kompromisu vzal na ob\u017ealovan\u00e9 kladivo trestn\u00edho pr\u00e1va jako to u\u010dinil p\u0159ed lety jeho kolega, kter\u00fd poslal proslul\u00e9ho finan\u010dn\u00edho \u0161ejd\u00ed\u0159e Bernanda Madoffa, RIP, na sto pades\u00e1t let za m\u0159\u00ed\u017ee. Pro\u010d dostal plnou paletu?<\/p>\n

Proto\u017ee oproti Sackerov\u00fdm, kte\u0159\u00ed tyli a bohatli z\u00a0 Ameri\u010dan\u016f, kte\u0159\u00ed maj\u00ed hluboko do kapsy, Madoff o\u0161kubal banky, investi\u010dn\u00ed fondy a zazoban\u00e9 \u017eidovsk\u00e9 rodiny. \u201eNed\u00e1 se \u0159\u00edct, \u017ee Bernie ud\u011blal chybu, sp\u00e1chal n\u011bco mnohem hor\u0161\u00edho\u201c napsal satirick\u00fd \u010dasopis Onion. \u201eKadil do vlastn\u00edho hn\u00edzda, a to je monument\u00e1ln\u00ed blbost, za kterou se t\u011b\u017ece plat\u00ed.\u201c<\/p>\n

Pravda, OxyContin u\u017e nen\u00ed k\u00a0m\u00e1n\u00ed, Sacklerov\u00e9 jsou odstaveni, Purdue Pharma v\u00a0d\u00ed\u0159e zapomn\u011bn\u00ed.
