The series stars Matthew Broderick as Purdue Pharma villain Richard Sackler.

, Keefe writes about how Sackler would bring Unch to the office and let him run free, as much an exercise of power as display of affection for his pet, since Unch’s liberty often made life difficult for employees who wouldn’t have been able to object. For example, Unch had a tendency to leave calling cards on the purple carpet in the hallways of the executive floor, which visitors had to sidestep because Sackler could not be bothered to pick them up .

Giuliani was not able to prevent Purdue’s conviction for fraudulent marketing claims about OxyContin’s safety, but, as part of the deal, he did secure an agreement that would make it difficult for the DOJ to prosecute the company in the future and ensured that senior executives would not serve prison time He also negotiated away a threatened prohibition on the federal government doing business with Purdue, a ban that would have greatly cut into the company’s profits.
