The founder of pharma company Insys was just found guilty of bribing doctors to prescribe opioids

Insys Therapeutics founder John Kapoor leaves federal court in Boston. On Thursday, May 2, 2019, Kapoor was found guilty in a scheme to bribe doctors to boost sales of a highly addictive fentanyl spray meant for cancer patients with severe pain.BOSTON — A pharmaceutical company founder accused of bribing doctors across the U.S.

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 opioid spray Subsys, and testimony about how the company made a habit of hiring attractive women as sales representatives.

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. A former sales representative testified that regional sales manager Sunrise Lee once gave whom Insys was pushing to write more prescriptions. Lee's lawyer said she will challenge the verdict.

That's a normal practice. ..there's no story there. .

And you think we are shocked?

We are all very shocked that such a thing happens in the world of business 👍
