Timeline
In 2001, Meier began investigating Purdue Pharma and OxyContin, when it was still a relatively unknown drug made by a relatively unknown family, the Sacklers, including Mortimer Sackler and his brother Raymond Sackler, their children and grandchildren—at that time "one of the wealthiest families in the United States".
In an August 24, 2001 Meier recorded an interview with Purdue CEO Michael Friedman and executives Howard Udell and Dr. Paul Goldenheim, who told Meier "they had learned of OxyContin’s growing abuse only in early 2000, a statement they also made before congressional committees".
They said the company had undertaken a "massive marketing campaign", based on a "unique claim" for OxyContin, with FDA permission, that, "as a long-acting opioid, it might be less likely to cause abuse and addiction than shorter-acting painkillers like Percocet."
In 2001 Meier published Pain Killer: A Wonder Drug's Trail of Addiction and Death.

According to his The Times profile, his articles published by The Times and elsewhere "have led to Congressional hearings and changes in federal laws."
A 2004 New York Times review of the book concluded:
"For years, doctors who prescribed OxyContin were told that the risk of addiction to the painkiller was less than 1 percent. Only after the drug had devastated thousands of lives was it revealed that this figure, touted as scientific fact, was based on a small study that had no relevance for the general public."
Meier's 2021 book entitled Spooked: The Trump Dossier, Black Cube, and the Rise of Private Spies focused on the former The Wall Street Journal journalist, Glenn R. Simpson and the company he founded and co-ownedFusion GPSthe spy they hiredChristopher Steeleand his reportthe Steele dossier prior to the 2016 United States presidential election.
