#220: Did SCOTUS screw over opioid victims?

Chuck and Big John discuss the Supreme Court's most recent decision to overturn the $6 billion settlement with the Sackler family/Purdue Pharma for their role in the opioid epidemic, opening the family up to legal liability individually.  We talk about whether this was a good thing for the victims and what we can expect in the future.
