They made off with at least $3 billion in profit, are responsible for (at minimum) the deaths of thousands of Americans, and will ride off into the sunset with their billions. The DOJ delivered a slap on the wrist just in time for the election so that they could claim a win on the opioid crisis.

Of course they shouldn't profit from people they've harmed.

Is it okay to profit from the other people they've helped?

In any case Rhodes Pharmaceutical was started in 2007 by the Purdue family. It makes opioids too and should be shut down.
