A court ruling has approved the sale of a sprawling Greenwich, Connecticut, mansion owned by the Sackler family, proceeds from which will contribute to the $7.4 billion opioid settlement reached by Purdue Pharma. The decision follows legal proceedings tied to the company’s role in the nation’s opioid crisis, where the Sacklers—who once controlled Purdue—have faced scrutiny over their wealth and influence. The mansion, long a symbol of their fortune, now stands as collateral in one of the largest civil settlements in U.S. history. The move underscores the financial fallout for the family as they seek to fulfill their obligations under the landmark agreement.
