I agree! Wecht was paid by HKS. Dr. Perper met with his fellow native Russian, Dr. KE. As Perper could see from the list of drugs rx by Dr. KE, she might be in a lot of trouble. But he covered for her, didn’t he? Why? Why did he trust her statements as facts, or was he encouraged somehow to do so?
Amazing what some people who are not hard up will do even for a few dollars. Or are some other favors involved?
