In one 2010 email cited by DOJ, Richard Sackler scolded company executives for not setting higher sales quotas for Oxycontin. "I'm disappointed and don't agree with you. This is a matter that the board will have to take up and give you a settled direction," Sackler wrote. A consultant who helped develop the company's aggressive sales tactics claimed in a 2013 memo that family members were the only decision-makers in the room during a key meeting. In another email from 2017 cited by the Justice Department, a top Purdue Pharma executive describes the Sacklers acting as the "de-facto CEO" of their drug company.[/quote]
