Under Mr. Lelling's leadership, the U.S. Attorney's Office brought successful, high impact cases in a number of areas.

The office launched the most significant federal enforcement action in U.S. history targeting corruption in college admissions, an effort that sparked a national conversation on fairness and equality in the admissions process. Fifty-six people were charged in the college admissions case, 42 of whom have been convicted to date.
In the first federal racketeering case targeting senior corporate executives for their role in exacerbating the opioid epidemic, in 2019, seven senior executives of Insys Therapeutics, Inc., including its CEO, John Kapoor, were convicted at trial.
Lelling spearheaded a nationally recognized anti-opioid media campaign focused on preventing first time use, especially among teens. The campaign used social media and nontraditional platforms with targeted messaging developed using focus groups of teens and others. It was first of its kind in the country and reached millions of people in the Commonwealth and beyond.
In a push to tackle public corruption in the Commonwealth, since late 2017, under Lelling's leadership the office has charged: 11 current and former members of the Massachusetts State Police and 10 current and former members of the Boston Police Department for fraudulent overtime practices and other corruption; State Representative David Nangle for alleged fraud; and a state district court judge for alleged obstruction of justice.
Continuing the office's longstanding role as a leader in national healthcare enforcement, since late 2017 the office's civil prosecutors have recovered nearly $1 billion from major pharmaceutical companies for violations of civil anti-kickback laws.
Leading a coordinated group of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, the U.S. Attorney's Office prioritized rooting out drug trafficking and violent offenders in Lawrence, Mass., a city in which crime has dropped 46% in the last two years.
Since late 2017, Lelling's gang and organized crime prosecutors have convicted dozens of members of the violent transnational gang MS-13, and indicted more than 70 members of the Latin Kings gang, substantially dismantling both gangs in Massachusetts.

Under Lelling's leadership, the U.S. Attorney's Office was also a national leader in federal civil rights enforcement:

The Office's "pattern and practice" investigation of the Springfield Police Department was the only such investigation opened in the country under the Trump administration.
During Lelling's tenure, the Boston U.S. Attorney's Office was the only one to use the Americans with Disabilities Act to require nursing facilities and county jails to provide medically assisted treatment to recovering addicts.
Lelling's office continues to pursue a federal civil rights investigation of allegations of mismanagement and neglect at the Holyoke Soldiers' Home during the pandemic, a situation that resulted in the deaths of over 75 elderly veterans.
Lelling's office continues to negotiate with the Massachusetts Department of Correction to improve treatment of inmates requiring mental health treatment and reduce the use of restrictive housing.

Q Research Generall #14312: Trust In Yourselves, the Swamp runs Deep Edition

I just posted earlier about Doug Ducey's connection to DEEP ROOTS inc. and now Q posts about the swamp running DEEP. I also posted about Doug Ducey's connection to the Fentanyl Manufacturer in Chandler AZ called Insys Therapeutics. Ducey's assistant owns a drug testing company.

- A pharmaceutical company founder accused of paying doctors millions in bribes to prescribe a highly addictive fentanyl spray was convicted Thursday.

John Kapoor, the 76-year-old former chairman of Insys Therapeutics, was found guilty of racketeering conspiracy after 15 days of jury deliberations. Four ex-employees of the Chandler, Arizona-based company, including a former stripper-turned-sales-rep, were also convicted.

Federal prosecutors portrayed the case as part of the government's effort to go after those it views as responsible for fueling the nation's deadly opioid crisis.

Several doctors have been convicted in other cases of participating in a kickback scheme. A number of states have sued the Insys, which also agreed last year to pay $150 million to settle a federal investigation into inappropriate sales.

Pharma Founder Gets 66 Months for Bribing Doctors to Overprescribe Deadly Opioids

Millions of Americans who lived through the financial crisis probably recall that not a single executive of a major investment bank was jailed in the aftermath, despite running organizations seemingly dedicated to perpetuating a criminal fraud on nearly every counterparty and client. But when Americans look back at the opioid crisis, they'll remember that at least one executive of a major opioid manufacturer and distributor was sentenced to a fairly weighty sentence - five-and-a-half years (66 months) in federal prison - for an illegal kickback scheme that effectively involved bribing doctors to prescribe potentially lethal doses of fentanyl. That's right: Packaged under the name brand Subsys, Insys sold a painkiller made from the same ultra-powerful synthetic opioid responsible for tens of thousands of deaths across America.

According to the FT, which, in partnership with PBS's Frontline, is producing a documentary on the opioid crisis, John Kapoor, the founder of Insys, was sentenced to prison time on Thursday after being prosecuted under the RICO act - a law adopted decades ago to help the DoJ prosecute the mafia. Kapoor joins seven other Insys executives who have already received jail time for their role in the company's illegal shenanigans, which included uses "ruthless" sales tactics to encourage doctors to prescribe more of their drug. Several doctors who took money from the company in exchange for kickbacks transparently disguised as speaking fees are also either being prosecuted, or have already been sentenced to jail time.

Earlier on Thursday, Alec Burlakoff, Insys's former head of sales and one of the government's key cooperating witnesses accepted a sentence of 26 months in prison. The jail sentences were handed down despite a long tradition of allowing big pharma to skate by with fines that often amounted to a slap on the wrist. Subsys was approved by the FDA to target so-called "breakthrough pain", something experienced by many patients with advanced cancer. But most of the doctors Insys targeted weren't oncologists. The company encouraged them to prescribe the drug "off label" - meaning not for its approved purpose - to treat normal chronic pain.

Kapoor is a serial entrepreneur who immigrated to the US from India in his early 20s. The fentanyl spray that was the company's main product was approved in 2012. Under the company's kick-back scheme, doctors who prescribed large quantities of the drug could earn up to $125,000 a year in speaking fees. The company depended on sales associates whom Kapoor described as "PHD" - "poor, hungry and desperate" or "poor, hungry and dumb." One of the sales reps who got mixed up in the prosecution was a former stripper, a detail from the investigation that was widely covered in the press. 'Kapoor's insistence that the company meticulously track the ROI from its illegal kickback scheme is what eventually did him in. Prosecutors managed to get their hands on a spreadsheet calculating the return on investment for every dollar spent on doctor "honorariums"'. Kapoor insisted that, for every dollar a doctor received, they must bring in at least $2 in sales for Insys.

Kapoor's legal team insisted that their client was unfairly portrayed as a "caricature of a mob boss" by the prosecution. But the firm's "callous culture" was exemplified by a sales video featuring a "rapping bottle of Subsys" encouraging doctors to raise the dose for their patient's - effectively encouraging them to accidentally overdose and kill their own patients.

Burlakoff, who played the rapping Subsys bottle in the video, told the press that the video was a big part of the incriminating evidence against him. He now regrets participating in it, even though he thought it was 'cool' at the time. Fred Wyshak, the prosecutor who handled the Insys case, gained notoriety for prosecuting the mob, and having a hand in the conviction of Whitey Bulger, the former Boston crime boss who was murdered while serving a life sentence last year.

Opioid Kickback Schemes Taken to Task By Federal Officials

By Shawn Cunningham |
Posted: Tue 9:41 AM, Jan 14, 2020

Boston, MA– The founder and former top employees of a pharmaceutical company are facing a reckoning for their role in a bribery scheme that prosecutors say boosted sales of a powerful, highly addictive painkiller and helped fuel the national opioid epidemic.

Starting Monday, seven people who worked for Insys Therapeutics will appear in Boston to be sentenced by a federal judge.

The case against company founder John Kapoor and his associates was considered the first that sought to hold an opioid maker and its executives criminally liable for the drug crisis that's claimed nearly 400,000 lives over two decades.

At least two other companies, a drug distributor in New York and another in Ohio, have since been hit with criminal charges. But prominent industry names - specifically OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family that owns it - have only faced lawsuits, which carry no threat of prison time.

Prosecutors say officials at Arizona-based Insys Therapeutics paid millions of dollars in bribes to doctors across the country so they would overprescribe Subsys, a fentanyl-based oral spray meant to ease intense pain suffered by cancer patients.

Insys Therapeutics also deployed other questionable marketing tactics, according to prosecutors. One sales executive, who prosecutors said used to be an exotic dancer, gave a physician a lap dance at a club. And the company misled insurers to get payment for the drug, which cost as much as $19,000 a month.

Following a lengthy trial, Kapoor and four others were convicted last year of racketeering conspiracy. Two other defendants pleaded guilty.

The justice system is looking to crackdown on perpetrators of the opioid crisis as a federal court looks to set a precedent with high level executives of a pharmaceutical company. Recent reports confirmed the sentencing of seven top former employees, including the founder of Insys Therapeutics, who are set to appear in front of a federal judge in Boston, Massachusetts.
The case surrounding Insys founder John Kapoor and his employees stem from their scheme to over-prescribe their opioid product, which has affected nearly 400,000 lives over two decades.
"People who are desperate for pain relief because they've suffered terrible pain injuries, and to see them being taken advantage of like this is sickening," said attorney Michael Rainboth.
The company bribed doctors to over-prescribe their fentanyl-based oral spray Subsys to cancer patients seeking to ease their pain. Insys also misled insurance companies to pay for the drug, which costs $19,000 a month.

Billionaire opioid kingpin convicted in massive bribery, racketeering conspiracy

Almost two years after he was arrested and charged for running a criminal drug cartel, opioid kingpin John Kapoor of Insys Therapeutics has finally been convicted of running a nationwide bribery and racketeering conspiracy.

According to reports, the federal government has found the billionaire pharma executive, along with four of his co-defendants, guilty of illegally paying off doctors to prescribe opioid pharmaceuticals such as fentanyl, which directly contributed to the current opioid epidemic.

In declaring Kapoor guilty of this crime, federal prosecutors sent a clear message that drug companies will no longer be getting away with conspiring to illicitly distribute dangerous and highly addictive opioids that are harming and killing Americans.

"Today's convictions mark the first successful prosecution of top pharmaceutical executives for crimes related to the illicit marketing and prescribing of opioids," indicated United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling in a statement.

"Just as we would street-level drug dealers, we will hold pharmaceutical executives responsible for fueling the opioid epidemic by recklessly and illegally distributing these drugs, especially while conspiring to commit racketeering along the way."

Because it's rare for the federal government to pursue corporate executives like this using criminal charges, the case is said to set a new precedent for justice, particularly as it pertains to the activities of Big Pharma.

"This is a landmark decision that vindicated the public's interest in staunching the flow of opioids into our homes and streets," Lelling went on to say.
The Feds prosecuted Kapoor using the same tactics as they would the MAFIA

According to Brad Bailey, a criminal defense attorney from Boston and a former federal prosecutor who's been following the case, the 10-week trial and the way it proceeded is incredibly rare.

"That's always unusual. That's always an attention grabber," Bailey indicated about the decision by the Feds to go after Kapoor and his co-defendants with racketeering charges.

"The big issue is the use of racketeering charges, which had been originally designed to go after the Mafia," he added, noting that the federal government has basically determined that what took place at Insys was organized crime.

Opioid Manufacturer Insys to Pay $225 Million Settlement After Admitting to Bribing Doctors

One of America's biggest opioid manufacturers is set to pay a massive federal penalty after getting nailed for bribing doctors to prescribe their dangerous and highly addictive fentanyl painkillers. The distribution scheme of Insys Therapeutics, that pushed potent opiates into the hands of patients that did not need them, has been described as a driving force behind America's ongoing public health epidemic stemming from use of the drugs.

Insys, an Arizona company that reported almost $150 million in revenue in 2017, contracted doctors who agreed to prescribe their drugs for sham speeches. In reality, the doctors were getting paid for issuing prescriptions of Subsys, the company's fentanyl-based painkiller medication.

Insys' reckoning in the federal court system thus far represents one of the most prominent judgements against the dark forces that pioneered America's full-fledged opioid crisis. The company's founder, billionaire pharmacist John Kapoor, was convicted of criminal racketeering in May with other Insys executives, and faces up to 20 years in prison upon sentencing.

A degree of public accountability being levied against Insys could spur the American public to demand criminal proceedings against other pioneers of the nation's opioid crisis, most prominently among them the billionaire oligarch Sackler family. The Sacklers, one of America's wealthiest families, developed and popularized a new generation of opioid-based painkillers, misrepresenting the potential dangers their products posed to the public and profiting off of them to the tunes of billions of dollars.

For the malevolent pharmaceutical kingpins of Insys, a life sentence in the nation's prison system is little more than a slap on the hand in the eyes of the millions of Americans who have lost a family member or loved one to the ongoing scourge of opiate addiction.

Unit of drugmaker Insys pleads guilty to U.S. opioid bribe scheme

A unit of Insys Therapeutics Inc pleaded guilty on Friday to fraud charges as part of an $225 million deal with the U.S. Justice Department resolving claims that the drugmaker bribed doctors to prescribe an addictive opioid medication.

The plea, in federal court in Boston by the Chandler, Arizona-based Insys' operating subsidiary, came in one of the few criminal prosecutions to date of a corporation accused of helping fuel the nation's deadly opioid epidemic.

The plea deal was announced on Wednesday, a month after a federal jury found wealthy Insys founder John Kapoor and four other former executives and managers guilty of engaging in a vast racketeering conspiracy.

Insys is facing growing financial pressures as a result of the U.S. probe and a decline in sales of its flagship fentanyl pain product, Subsys, which it has said could prompt the company to seek bankruptcy protection.

Beyond the plea by subsidiary Insys Pharma Inc, Insys has also entered into a five-year deferred prosecution agreement with the government and agreed to pay $30 million in the criminal case and $195 million to resolve civil claims.

U.S. District Judge Rya Zobel approved the parent company's deferred prosecution agreement at Friday's hearing and scheduled sentencing for the subsidiary for July 10.

Insys in a statement said it believes the deal is in its best interests. Kapoor and his co-defendants deny wrongdoing and are expected to appeal.

Subsys is an under-the-tongue spray the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved in 2012 only for treating pain in cancer patients. Its main ingredient, fentanyl, is an opioid 100 times stronger than morphine.

Prosecutors alleged that while Kapoor served as Insys' chairman, the company from 2012 to 2015 paid doctors and other medical practitioners bribes in exchange for prescribing Subsys to their patients, often to those who did not have cancer.

Insys did so by paying medical practitioners to act as speakers at sham events ostensibly meant to educate clinicians about Subsys but that were often just social gatherings at high-priced restaurants with no real attendees.

Those practitioners include a former New Hampshire physician assistant, Christopher Clough, who prosecutors say received $44,000. Payments to Clough form the basis of the plea by the subsidiary to five counts of mail fraud.

Clough was sentenced on Monday to four years in prison after being convicted of accepting kickbacks from Insys. He plans to appeal.

It is a bit uncomfortable': Before the criminal allegations, an awards program honored Insys and Theranos
When it comes to having a bad corporate reputation, it doesn't get much worse than Insys Therapeutics and Theranos.

Last week, five former Insys executives, including founder John Kapoor, were found guilty of racketeering in pushing the company's powerful opioid; jurors said they were horrified when they saw a music video, produced to pump up sales, featuring two Insys salesmen rapping about ramping up the dose of the painkiller. Meanwhile, ex-Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes and her former No. 2 Sunny Balwani are facing criminal charges for defrauding investors, patients, and physicians about their blood-testing technology; they're expected to go to trial, perhaps next year.

All of which makes it a little awkward, in retrospect, that an Arizona trade group honored Insys (in 2014) and Theranos (in 2015) as the "Arizona Bioscience Company of the YeaR
It is a bit uncomfortable to have them on the list," acknowledged Joan Koerber-Walker, president and CEO of the Arizona BioIndustry Association, or AZBio for short, which runs the annual awards program.

But AZBio's board of directors has no plans to rescind the honor to either of its scandal-ridden awardees, though the question has been discussed. That's because so many of these companies' Arizona-based employees did, in fact, do the work they were recognized for - and haven't been accused of wrongdoing, Koerber-Walker said.

After all, researchers and executives at Arizona-based Insys did successfully develop the fentanyl spray Subsys and earn approval in 2012 from the Food and Drug Administration to market it to treat severe cancer pain. (It was around then that the criminal activity began: Lawsuits, journalists, and the just-concluded court trial have documented Insys's strategy, carried out between 2012 and 2015, of targeting and bribing physicians.)

And Theranos, based in Silicon Valley before it was dissolved late last summer, picked Arizona as the main testing ground for its blood-testing technology. Arizona-based Theranos employees did, after all, successfully open up several dozen "wellness centers" inside Walgreens stores in Arizona over a matter of months starting in 2013. (That success gave many Arizona patients flawed medical results that in some cases impacted their care. Theranos ultimately agreed to pay $4.6 million to Arizona patients who paid for its blood tests, as part of a settlement secured by Arizona's attorney general; more than 76,000 refund checks were ultimately mailed out.)

The award in question seeks to honor "the for-profit bioscience company whose Arizona-based operations did the most to transform the world during the last 12 months," according to the criteria AZBio maps out on its website. Happily for AZBio, the more recent winners have been basically controversy free. A local news organization, the Phoenix New Times, last year was first to report that Insys and Theranos are past winners.

AZBio has no plans to revamp the way its award winners are chosen, Koerber-Walker said. The process starts when AZBio asks the community to nominate deserving companies; about six to 10 come in each year. Next comes a voting process in which volunteer judges who work in the local life sciences industry (but don't have direct conflicts of interest) rank the nominated companies according to their own views of who is most deserving. The votes are tallied, and the winning company is asked to accept their award - and verify that the information about it submitted as part of the nomination is accurate.

"Now, you could say: Well, did you go back and independently research all of these companies to see if what the company said was true? We don't have the resources to do something like that," Koerber-Walker said.

As Koerber-Walker sees it, there are two key questions at play in thinking about Insys' and Theranos' inclusion on a list of winners: "Is it appropriate to look at these companies through the lens of history - and rewrite it? And did they do what they purported to do at the time that they were awarded?"

Koerber-Walker feels comfortable with how AZBio has come down on those questions. She's also glad that the award centers around Arizona-based operations.

"Now if they had won a business ethics award? We might be having a different conversation," Koerber-Walker said with a laugh.

Executives Found Guilty Of Bribing Doctors To Prescribe Addictive Drugs

https://truepundit.com/executives-found-guilty-of-bribing-doctors-to-prescribe-addictive-drugs/

A federal jury declared five Insys executives guilty Thursday of bribing doctors to prescribe addictive drugs to patients.

The Boston jury found 76-year-old Insys Therapeutics founder John Kapoor and four other former company executives guilty of bribing doctors to prescribethe addictive fentanyl spray Subsys, CBS News reported. They convicted the highest-ranking pharmaceutical representative thus far in U.S. opioid related cases,according to Reuters.

Prosecutors revealed evidence during the 10-week trial that included a rap video made by Insys in which a salesman brags about prescribing higher dosages, something prosecutors said was a strategy intended to get salesmen to persuade doctors to increase dosages. Prosecutors also revealed executives would bribe doctors by paying them for pretend speaking engagements.

The company made thousands of payments worth a total of over $2 million to doctors in 2016, according to CBS News.

Drug company founder convicted of bribing doctors with money, strippers to sell more Fentanyl

A pharmaceutical company founder accused of paying doctors millions of dollars in bribes to prescribe a highly addictive fentanyl spray was convicted Thursday in a case that exposed such marketing tactics as using a stripper-turned-sales-rep to give a physician a lap dance.

John Kapoor, the 76-year-old former chairman of Insys Therapeutics, was found guilty of racketeering conspiracy after 15 days of jury deliberations. Four former employees of the Arizona-based company, including the former exotic dancer, were also convicted.

Some of the most sensational evidence in the months-long federal trial included a video of employees dancing and rapping around an executive dressed as a giant bottle of the powerful spray Subsys, and testimony about how the company made a habit of hiring attractive women as sales representatives.

Federal prosecutors portrayed the case as part of the government's effort to go after those it views as responsible for fuelling the nation's deadly opioid crisis.

"This is a landmark prosecution that vindicated the public's interest in staunching the flow of opioids into our homes and streets," Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said in a statement.

The convictions could embolden federal authorities to bring more cases against top executives of opioid manufactures, said Andrew Kolodny, co-director of opioid policy research at Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management.



"Paying a fine or even civil litigation is inadequate if we want to deter corporations from killing people in their pursuit of profit," Kolodny said.

Opioid overdoses claimed nearly 400,000 lives in the U.S. between 1999 and 2017, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An estimated 2 million people are addicted to the drugs, which include both prescription painkillers such as OxyContin and illegal drugs such as heroin.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says there were more than 10,300 deaths in Canada from apparent opioid-related overdose between January 2016 and September 2018.

Lap dances, rap videos, deception: Pharma execs guilty of racketeering in first opioid epidemic conviction

A billionaire pharmaceutical CEO faces up to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of a bribery and kickback scheme to get doctors to prescribe addictive painkillers to people who didn't need them. It is the first conviction of a high-profile pharmaceutical executive related to the opioid crisis plaguing the nation. The case revealed details of the efforts by John Kapoor and his company, Insys Therapeutics, to get doctors to over-prescribe opioids, including giving them lap dances, producing a rap video glamorizing higher doses of the drugs, and rewarding salespeople for selling higher-dose medications.

A federal judge found Kapoor and four former executives guilty Thursday of racketeering for its methods of getting physicians to prescribe Subsys, a highly potent fentanyl spray used to treat cancer patients, to cancer-free patients who did not need it. "Today's convictions mark the first successful prosecution of top pharmaceutical executives for crimes related to the illicit marketing and prescribing of opioids," said U.S Attorney Andrew Lelling. "Just as we would street-level drug dealers, we will hold pharmaceutical executives responsible for fueling the opioid epidemic by recklessly and illegally distributing these drugs." A Boston jury deliberated for 15 days and issued five guilty verdicts for racketeering conspiracy charges.

Insys executives and sales representatives went to unorthodox measures to attract prospective prescribers. Two Insys sales representatives made a music video in 2015 to show at a national sales meeting illustrating a method used to increase dosages, called titration. As the two men dance around a person in a Subsys dispenser costume, they say "I love titrations, and it's not a problem. I got new patients, and I got a lot of them." Insys sales representatives also lured doctors in by giving them lap dances. Holly Brown, a former Insys sales representative in Chicago, testified that her boss, a former exotic dancer, gave a doctor a lap dance to persuade him to prescribe more of the fentanyl spray.

The 10-week trial revealed Insys Therapeutics' strategies for recruiting doctors and manipulating insurers to cover a high volume of Subsys prescriptions. Subsys becomes more expensive as the dosage climbs, but patients are more prone to becoming dependent, as it is 100 times more potent than morphine. Former sales representatives said their bonuses were directly tied to the dosages prescribed. With a higher prescribed dose, the sales representative would get a higher bonus payment. Representatives also had to justify to their supervisor why some doses were lower than they would have liked within 24 hours. Doctors who prescribed Subsys practice in many states including Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Connecticut, and more. A physician in Alabama tied to the case was sentenced in 2017 for 20 years.

The other executives found guilty were Richard Simon, former national director of sales, former regional sales directors Sunrise Lee and Joseph Rowan, and Michael Gurry, former vice president of managed markets. After the verdicts were issued, Beth Wilkinson, a lawyer for Dr. Kapoor, said, "Four weeks of jury deliberations confirm that this was far from an open-and-shut case," and that Kapoor's legal team "will continue the fight to clear Dr. Kapoor's name."

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/05/opioid-maker-ceo-convicted-of-racketeering-for-bribing-doctors-to-prescribe-addictive-painkiller.amp

A federal jury on Thursday found the top executives of pharmaceutical company Insys Therapeutics guilty of criminal racketeering for orchestrating an elaborate scheme of bribes and kickbacks to doctors to boost the prescribing of an opioid painkiller it manufactured. The landmark conviction of Insys founder and former chairman John Kapoor is the first of a drug company CEO in the federal government's pursuit of those responsible for fomenting the deadly opioid crisis. Kapoor and other executives at the Arizona-based company could face prison sentences for the felony convictions that run as long as 20 years.
The details of the company's sales practices are chilling: To help boost the number of prescriptions and its bottom line, Insys created incentives for doctors that pushed them to prescribe highly addictive pain medication, usually reserved for cancer patients, to patients who didn't medically require it. The company profited from the wider distribution of the under-the-tongue fentanyl spray Subsys, which can be as much as 100 times more potent than morphine. The drugmaker paid the doctors with lucrative speaking slots at marketing events, some of which could run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. The company then misled insurance companies to cover the wider pool of patients prescribed the drug, which could run as high as thousands of dollars each month, further boosting annual sales that at one point topped $300 million.

"Former Insys sales representatives, testifying for the prosecution, said their bonuses were tied to the dosages of Subsys prescribed by the doctors they recruited," the New York Times reports. "The higher the dose, the higher the bonus. Evidence presented in court showed that sales representatives had to justify low doses to their boss within 24 hours. Not only did Subsys cost more at higher doses, but patients were also more likely to become dependent on the highly addictive medication."

BREAKING: First Big Pharma CEO John Kapoor along with 4 other execs have been found guilty in fentanyl bribery case

https://twitter.com/Tiff_FitzHenry/status/1124032585544421376

BOSTON - The billionaire founder of the pharmaceutical company Insys Therapeutics and four other top executives were found guilty on Thursday of racketeering in a scheme that involved giving bribes and kickbacks to physicians to prescribe large amounts of a fentanyl spray to patients who didn't need the painkiller.

After 15 days of deliberations, a jury in Boston federal court reached a verdict in the first-of-its-kind nationwide opioid conspiracy case, finding the CEO and founder John Kapoor of the Arizona-based company guilty of conspiracy charges of racketeering.

Also found guilty were: Richard M. Simon, the company's former national director of sales; Sunrise Lee and Joseph A. Rowan, both regional sales directors; and former Vice President of Managed Markets, Michael J. Gurry.

The case in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts - in which the Justice Department first made indictments in 2016 - is considered the first in federal court involving executives of an opioid manufacturing company.

It centered on a fentanyl-based pain medication called Subsys, a powerful and potentially dangerous narcotic that is intended to treat patients with cancer suffering from intense pain.

Two other co-conspirators, Michael Babich, the former CEO of the company, and Alec Burlakoff, former vice president of sales, had already pleaded guilty to charges. Both testified against his former colleagues in the trial, which took place over two months.

Federal prosecutors argued that practitioners between 2012 and 2015 provided patients large numbers of Subsys prescriptions - including to non-cancer patients - in exchange for kickbacks and bribes from the Insys executives.

The bribes took "different forms," according to prosecutors, but were usually disguised as fees that the company paid the physicians for marketing events. The government cited in-person meetings, telephone calls and texts to inform sales representatives that the key to sales was using speaker program series to pay practitioners to prescribe the fentanyl spray.

The high-profile verdict comes amid other cases being prosecuted nationally stemming from a surge in opioid use and overdose deaths.

In a push to drive sales of the drug, the company even had a rap video produced for their sales team that featured a giant dancing bottle of Subsys that Burlakoff was shown to be wearing at the end.

"I love titration, yeah, that's not a problem," the rap song in the video goes, referring to the process of increasing doses. "I got new patients and I got a lot of them."

The bribes varied for each of the 10 practitioners referenced in the complaint, but exceeded $100,000 or even $200,000 for some of them.

The government also alleged that the company leaders defrauded health insurance companies, which they said were reluctant to approve the payments for patients who didn't have cancer.

Prosecutors said company employees - at the direction of Babich and Gurry - carried out that part of the scheme from a call center at the company's corporate offices. Sales representatives and other workers disguised the identity and location of their employer and lied about patients' diagnoses, the type of pain being treated and the patient's course of treatment with other medication, prosecutors said.

The physicians who prescribed the Subsys to non-cancer patients practiced in Alabama, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Florida, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Arkansas.

Federal prosecutors called nearly 40 witnesses to the stand during the trial with the defense bring fewer witnesses and as they made their case over two days.

Kapoor, 75, was at one time found to have a net worth of $2.4 billion by Forbes. But his net worth fell to $1.75 billion in 2017 amid the indictments of Insys executives.

A jury has found John Kapoor, the founder and former CEO of Insys Therapeutics, and 4 other executives guilty of a scheme that involved bribing doctors to prescribe the company's powerful opioid, Subsys, and tricking health insurers to pay for it, Reuters reports.

Why it matters: This trial was a high-profile affair that many people viewed as a referendum on Big Pharma's role in the national opioid crisis. Other major makers of painkillers, including Purdue Pharma and Johnson & Johnson, also are facing potential trials.

Greed' Fueled Insys Founder's Opioid Bribe Scheme: Prosecutor

Reuters
BOSTON (Reuters) - A lawyer for Insys Therapeutics Inc's one-time billionaire founder on Monday denied that he had any role in the U.S. opioid crisis as a federal prosecutor told jurors he ran a scheme to bribe doctors to prescribe an addictive fentanyl spray.

John Kapoor, the drugmaker's former chairman, and four colleagues are the first painkiller manufacturer executives to face trial over conduct authorities say contributed to an opioid abuse crisis that has killed tens of thousands of people a year.

Assistant U.S. Attorney David Lazarus told a Boston federal jury at the trial's start that Kapoor oversaw the bribing of doctors who were paid to act as speakers at poorly-attended sham events at restaurants ostensibly meant to educate clinicians about its product, Subsys.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has only approved Subsys as a treatment for severe cancer pain. Yet Lazarus said doctors who took bribes often prescribed Subsys to patients without cancer, creating higher sales.

"This is a case about greed, about greed and its consequences, the consequences of putting profits over people," Lazarus said in his opening statement.

Lazarus said Insys also defrauded insurers into paying for Subsys. He said from 2012 to 2015 Kapoor had the help of co-defendants, former Insys executives and managers Michael Gurry, Richard Simon, Sunrise Lee and Joseph Rowan.

Kapoor's lawyer, Beth Wilkinson, called those charges "patently false."

She said Kapoor became dedicated to promoting Subsys after observing the pain his wife suffered due to breast cancer. She acknowledged Insys paid doctors but said Kapoor believed doctors really were being paid to talk up the product's benefits.

"He thought the purpose was to educate other doctors," Wilkinson told the court.

Kapoor's 2017 arrest came the same day U.S. President Donald Trump declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency. In 2017, a record 47,600 people died of opioid-related overdoses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In her opening statement, Wilkinson stressed that Subsys only makes up 0.03 percent of all U.S. opioid prescriptions.

"It is certainly not part of the opioid crisis," she said.

Prosecutors plan to call as witnesses Michael Babich, Insys' CEO from 2011 to 2015 who Lazarus called Kapoor's "right-hand man," and Alec Burlakoff, its ex-vice president of sales. Both have pleaded guilty.

Insys in August said it would pay at least $150 million to resolve a Justice Department probe into its marketing of Subsys.

Ex-Insys CEO to plead guilty to opioid kickback scheme

BOSTON (Reuters) - The former chief executive of Insys Therapeutics Inc (INSY.O) has agreed to plead guilty to participating in a scheme to bribe doctors to prescribe a powerful opioid medication in order to boost its sales, U.S. prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Michael Babich, who resigned as the Arizona-based drugmaker's CEO in 2015 and was due to face trial next month, has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy and mail fraud charges, federal prosecutors in Boston disclosed in a court filing. Five former Insys executives and managers indicted along with Babich, including John Kapoor, the company's founder and former chairman, remain scheduled to go on trial in late January. They have pleaded not guilty. The terms of Babich's plea deal were not disclosed, and it was unclear whether he would agree to cooperate with prosecutors and testify at that trial, as has another former Insys executive who recently pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy. Prosecutors requested a Jan. 9 plea hearing. A lawyer for Babich, 42, declined to comment.

The case centers on Subsys, Insys' under-the-tongue spray for managing pain in cancer patients. It contains fentanyl, an opioid 100 times stronger than morphine. Prosecutors allege that from 2012 to 2015, Kapoor, Babich and others conspired to bribe doctors in exchange for prescribing their patients Subsys. Prosecutors said they also defrauded insurers into paying for Subsys. Prosecutors allege Insys paid doctors kickbacks in the form of fees to participate in speaker programs ostensibly meant to educate medical professionals about Subsys that were actually shams. The case has been brought amid a national opioid addiction epidemic. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, opioids were involved in around 47,600 overdose deaths in 2017.

Babich, who was originally indicted in 2016, is married to a former Insys sales representative, Natalie Babich, who in 2017 pleaded guilty to conspiring to pay kickbacks and became a government witness. She testified this month at the trial of Christopher Clough, a former physician assistant in New Hampshire accused of accepting kickbacks from Insys. A federal jury in Concord, New Hampshire convicted Clough on Dec. 18. In August, Insys said it had agreed to settle a related U.S. Justice Department probe for at least $150 million.

Phoenix billionaire, John Kapoor,the founder and majority owner of Insys Therapeutics Inc., was arrested today and charged with leading a nationwide conspiracy to profit by using bribes and fraud to cause the illegal distribution of a Fentanyl spray intended for cancer patients experiencing breakthrough pain.

Kapoor, age 74, a current member of the Board of Directors of Insys, was arrested this morning in Arizona and charged with RICO conspiracy, as well as other felonies, including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and conspiracy to violate the Anti-Kickback Law by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of Massachusetts. Kapoor, the former Executive Chairman of the Board and CEO of Insys, will appear in federal court in Phoenix today. He will appear in U.S. District Court in Boston at a later date.

Kapoor was a heavy hitter in Arizona politics. He first grabbed attention for contributing to anti-legal marijuana campaign at the same time his company was making a synthetic marijuana compound. Later, Kapoor was among the deep pockets that came to the rescue of the Arizona Republican Party after it was left in debt by then-outgoing chair, and current possible Senate candidate, Robert Graham.

Big Pharma Billionaire Charged With Conspiracy and Bribery of CDC Doctors Pharmaceutical kingpin, John Kapoor, was arrested for bribing doctors

Pharmaceutical kingpin, John Kapoor, was arrested for bribing doctors and pain clinics into prescribing the company's fentanyl product to their patients according to Daily Caller News Foundation.

The drugs included opioids, which now claim over 64,000 lives a year in the United States. The arrests came just hours after President Donald Trump officially declared the United States opioid epidemic a "national emergency". NaturalNews reports: The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged John Kapoor, 74, and seven other current and former executives at the pharmaceutical company with racketeering for a leading a national conspiracy through bribery and fraud to coerce the illegal distribution of the company's fentanyl spray, which is intended for use as a painkiller by cancer patients. The company's stock prices fell more than 20 percent following the arrests, according to the New York Post. Kapoor stepped down as the company's CEO in January amid ongoing federal probes into their Subsys product, a pain-relieving spray that contains fentanyl, a highly-addictive synthetic opioid. Fentanyl is more than 50 times stronger than morphine, and ingesting just two milligrams is enough to cause an adult to fatally overdose. The series of arrests came just hours after President Donald Trump officially declared the country's opioid epidemic a national emergency. Drug overdoses led to 64,070 deaths in 2016, which is more than the amount of American lives lost in the entire Vietnam War.

As the opioid crisis has developed, more and more states have begun holding doctors and opioid manufacturers accountable for over-prescribing and over-producing the highly-addictive painkillers. "We will be bringing some major lawsuits against people and companies that are hurting our people," Trump said Thursday. He also spoke about a program similar to Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" initiative. "More than 20,000 Americans died of synthetic opioid overdoses last year, and millions are addicted to opioids. And yet some medical professionals would rather take advantage of the addicts than try to help them," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.

OPIOID CRISIS ARREST: John Kapoor/Insys Therapeutics. Most significant pharm exec charged with racketeering, conspiracy & fraud in response to opioid crisis.

Is big pharma board up? Might find some leads here…

"John Kapoor, 74, was taken into custody in Phoenix, Arizona. Kapoor is the billionaire founder and former CEO of the pharmaceutical company Insys Therapeutics. He faces charges including racketeering, conspiracy and fraud…

Kapoor is the most significant pharmaceutical executive to be criminally charged in response to the nationwide opioid crisis…

Kapoor stepped down as CEO of Insys in January but still serves on its board. The company makes a spray version of fentanyl, a highly addictive opioid intended only for cancer patients. Authorities allege Insys marketed the drug as part of a scheme to get non-cancer doctors to prescribe it. Numerous physicians were allegedly paid bribes by the company to push the painkilling drug…

Last December, six other Insys executives were indicted on federal charges in Boston in connection with the alleged scheme to bribe doctors to unnecessarily prescribe the painkilling drug."
