How far a business can go to make money?
Sackler is not really a dynasty. It is a bunch of people who didn't mind making money by any means possible. The irony is that with all this money they wanted to establish their stature in a society that they thought was important. They bought/sponsored all the arts and music but it might have been just another business deal. Highly likely they understood the price but never the value of those art pieces that they could buy.
Since no one ever got any jail time for their misdeeds, it is a prime example of what money can buy. And remember they were not the only one who minted money during those unfortunate years of opioid epidemic. But they were the only one who tried to hide it all behind the art and other things considered more humane.
Peace
