I dunno, man. This has an "extinction-level event" kinda vibe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purdue_Pharma#Oxycontin-related_lawsuits That's twenty two attorneys general coming for blood and they've already pleaded guilty and paid out $600m on federal charges. All that discovery, all that caselaw is like a Github for "build your company-killer" lawsuits. They do $3b in revenue a year. Maybe they can survive a bullet or two but this is kind of looking like the end of Bonnie & Clyde.
