In 300 words,

Please read the below article and provide your thoughts on the following questions:
Purdue pled guilty to offering Physicians kickbacks. Do you think a 600-million-dollar fine is enough to deter Purdue and other organizations from engaging in this type activity, or should individuals on the leadership team be charged with jail time?
Do you think Purdue Pharma should be re-established after bankruptcy as a “public benefit corporation” ceasing its ties to the Sackler family.
Do you think more could have been done to hold the organization accountable for its actions since the 1990s
