Insys Therapeutics Kickback Scheme, Fentanyl Pill Mill Doctors
Federal prosecutors have charged executives from Insys Therapeutics, including founder John Kapoor, for a scheme involving kickbacks to doctors who prescribed the fentanyl spray Subsys. The company allegedly used "speaker programs" and hired doctors' relatives as bribes to encourage off-label prescriptions. The lack of mainstream media coverage on this specific pharmaceutical scandal is noted.
