Remember Barr annoucing that SDNY Attorney was stepping down, and said Attorney saying he wasn't going anywhere?

Then, President Trump fired Berman and a new acting attorney took his place? Acting Attorney Strauss is in action and Novartis/Ghislane Maxwell arrest are just two of the ways he's already had an impact.

Acting USA Strauss: For more than a decade, Novartis spent hundreds of millions on so-called speaker programs, including speaking fees, exorbitant meals & top-shelf alcohol that were nothing more than bribes to get doctors across the country to prescribe Novartis’s drugs

The fine is shockingly low.

If anyone knows a drug salesperson (they’re mostly young attractive females) you know this is only the tip of the iceberg.

[PGalt]

VERY interesting. Thanks, ransomnote.

BIG PHARMA = BIG DONORS to OUR /sarc “representatives”.

[nwrep]

I did not know that. I thought they were equally divided into men and women.

My wife has been in the medical field for years and yes they are mostly young ladies. They have been bringing lunch to the office a few times a week for years.

Novartis Gates foundation are like two peas in a pod. They have allied. Gates gave grants to the company. Many Novartis employees now work for Gates foundation.

What is up with Trump here supporting GAVI(Started by Gates)?

Boom and boom?

Couple big cases today... tomorrow starts 4th of July weekend, let’s keep up with the fireworks.

this probably happens a lot.....they hold very fancy dinners for drug reps or docs to come talk for a half hour or so, sometimes longer, and all the meals are free.....I’m talking free drinks, and expensive rib eye dinners....often times they are given by pharm. representatives...

“(they’re mostly young attractive females)”

I’ve only met one. Fresh out of college, gorgeous, the starting pay was very,very good.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree....and all the doctors are off the hook....

I think we all know that this is done all the time and that every Pharm Co does it.

Same here. They've gotta pick the stupid ones. Any titdancer would recognize the scam right off.

[DesertRhino]

678 million? How much did they make on the fraud? If it was significantly more, then this was just a business cost.

[jackibutterfly]

What’s the rest of the title?

[Nifster]

Why aren’t they going after Fauci?

[SauronOfMordor]

I knew one (sister of friend). Drop dead gorgeous, and making six figures in her 20’s.

As long as it doesn’t interfere with the free drug samples I get at the doc’s office.
