BOSTON - The founder of Insys Therapeutics Inc on Thursday became the highest-ranking pharmaceutical executive to be convicted in a case tied to the U.S. opioid crisis, when he and four colleagues were found guilty of participating in a scheme to bribe doctors to prescribe an addictive painkiller.

Kapoor’s 2017 arrest came on the same day U.S. President Donald Trump declared the epidemic that has caused tens of thousands of overdose deaths annually a public health emergency. They face up to 20 years in prison. They denied wrongdoing, and defense lawyers signaled plans to appeal. Wilkinson in her opening statement in January told jurors Kapoor had no knowledge of “side deals” being cut with doctors. She said a former executive turned government witness, Alec Burlakoff, kept Kapoor in the dark about them.

Rich folks don’t have the same fear of going to jail as us poor folks do. They can pay their way out, usually.

Give him a dose of his own medicine

For promoting a new product? Please stop telling doctors and scientists, how to do their job.

A fine and no jail time will be the most likely out come

Lock them up. Take all their ill-gotten money and feed it into drug treament programs.

Wow!
