Such a compelling story to tell from a successful engineering to robbing banks, had me wanting more. Well told and structured to keep you hooked. It felt original and interesting to binge the whole series in one sitting. Highly recommended!

The storytelling is good but listening to a man who participated in a bank robbery but denied it for years because he was waiting for the statute of limitations to run out was a LOT. Additionally to hear Tony complain about being roughly handled by police while being arrested on suspicion of armed robbery (they had no way of knowing he was a lovable idiot junkie 🙄) was pretty rich. If you want to listen to a podcast where the subject person who reportedly wants to acknowledge responsibility but spends almost the entire podcast deflecting blame from himself and complaining about others, this is the one.

I appreciate Tony and his family for sharing their story. This shows how the Sackler family easily destroyed one’s high ranking career, how a white collar worker’s injury plunged him into a life of abuse and crime. This also tells how abuse affected his child, from the perspective of life choices. This podcast is well-edited and presented. Thank you for this story that has affected so many families due to the Sackler family’s hunger for money and power, and being above the law, while their victims are suffering.

This is a fantastic podcast. It really brings the human element into the opioid crisis that we’ve all heard about. Everyone has a story and this one is fascinating. It really makes you think about criminal acts and what might be behind driving those. Rarely is a situation black or white and this is a reminder of that. I listen to a lot of podcasts and truly loved this one. I wish all the best to Tony, Conor, and everyone impacted by this story.
