Looks like Purdue Pharma just lost half their sales & marketing staff, LOL. I'd advise you to sell your stock fast, but they're privately held apparently.

I think you mean conspiracy. It would only be a theory if there was no conclusive evidence to support the claim.

They haven't gone to trial yet so it's all just a theory at this point.

Oh come on. How many of us could stand to live in Miami, work for the government, and remain sober as a judge?

Well, sober anyway...
