Notes

  1. ↑ "The Sacklers were generous donors to universities, academic medical centers, museums, and other charitable institutions in the U.S. and all over the world. Their names adorned these venerable institutions. In almost every case their names have been removed. And with the new bankruptcy ruling the Sacklers will lose most of their vast fortune. Far more important is their tragic legacy of being a major cause of the devastating opioid epidemic which has afflicted so many American families." See Missouri Medicine reference.
