The Sackler Family Part Five- Sneaky Hidey Law Nonsense
This week we are wrapping up the Sacklers. This ep has plenty of righteous indignation as well as we learn about how the family used their money and influence to avoid any true punishment.
But we also learn about how the Art world turned its back on the Sacklers even after they spent so much money trying to buy its friendship. We learn about some really cool artists and lawyers who made it their life's mission to tear down the Sackler name.
Hope you enjoy!
