Sackler family to pay $6bn for role in US opioid crisis (2022-03-03T18:39:11.000Z).
In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Biden pledged to make fighting what he called "the opioid epidemic" a top priority.
(...) The agreement will also likely see galleries, museums and scholarships drop the Sackler name.
A number have already removed it from exhibition halls with the family's agreement, including New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Tate Museum and National Portrait Gallery in the UK, and the Louvre in Paris.
Purdue Pharma, owned by the family, admitted marketing a painkiller it knew was highly addictive.
