He reached a sweetheart deal with Rochester Drug Cooperative, letting them off with a $20m fine for this:
‘Rochester Drug Co-Operative’s oxycodone sales increased by 800% and its fentanyl sales jumped by 2,000% between 2012 and 2016, Berman said. During the same period, the company’s internal compliance office flagged 8,300 orders but reported just four to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. From 2012 to 2016, RDCs sales of oxycodone tablets grew from 4.7 million to 42.2 million an increase of approximately 800 percent and during the same period RDCs fentanyl sales grew from approximately 63,000 dosages in 2012 to over 1.3 million in 2016 an increase of approximately 2,000 percent.’
A $20mil fine (barely a slap on the wrist), and as far as I know, no one is in jail. Are you kidding me? How many people did they kill?
Bermen should have be fired for this alone!
Can Berman be disbarred for this behavior?
