I really take issue with "settlements" of such a scale that don't equate to an admission of guilt. It's essentially buying a get of jail free card. If any individual were facing criminal charges, they would have to plea guilty before any easy-way-out is considered.

If it would have taken a billion dollars in legal fees to prove your innocence, I'm going to take a chance and suggest that these claims likely weren't "false".

Anyone going to jail?

Money means nothing if they get charged a fraction of what they made in profits...

The interesting thing is that what they did wouldn’t even be a crime if the doctors they paid didn’t work with Medicare patients. The anti kickback statute only applies to government funded health insurance programs. These same laws are also why manufacturers can’t offer copay assistance programs to people on Medicare. Applying these laws everywhere could probably reduce waste dramatically.

Also there’s a very high ROI and not very often discussed career path: Work in sales at big pharma company or home health care company or really any compare that bills Medicare, find False Claim Act violations and a lawyer to represent you, and collect 15-30% of settlement (should be 8 to 9 figures if you played your cards right).

Did physicians go to jail for endangering patients? Lose their license at least?

“The Pharmacist” on Netflix really opened my eye to how above the law doctors are.

How much of this goes to the victims who were inappropriately prescribed drugs? 90%, 95% 100% ?

> paying kickbacks to physicians to induce them to prescribe Biogen drugs

I blame the ones that take the money.

Their net income for 2021 was $1058M on about $10B of revenue, so this mostly wipes out 1 year of profits.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> The claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only and there has been no determination of liability.

Not only not going to jail, but didn't even acknowledge any wrongdoing.

So in fact, when a corporation does something disgustingly criminal, like Abbott did to me twice, with Depakote and Clozapine, second time I was wise to their shit, dodged their shit, they sell shit, they're shit salesmen. Door to door. Knock knock who's there? A shit salesman. A shit salesman who? Abbott, we're doing another round poisoning you in a way that we know is wrong but will not be provable for 8 years, you want this? You have to swallow every single time if you consent! And by the way, you can't get eat enough to not lose weight (at a waist size 32) until you consent, we'll ask you 70 times, and if not you're on the street! Remember, always swallow because we have a swallowing fetish. So legally you're always allowed to dodge, the swallowing fetish is because it's an experiment on dosing 100% of a group, in this case a rehab, diametrically against their will and obviously against their interest. It's a "fuck the Law" context. A preparation for rehab, see what the objections were and how to overcome them. I said fetish for swallowing, that's literally what it is. They aren't legally allowed any any of the shit they do, at Clinica Rayencura, like dude saw them bribing police, whatever the fuck. Police hanging out, getting bribed, just hanging out, because they chased "fugitives" who escaped, which is also totally legal, and captured them, and sent them to a weird clinic and injected them with...with whatever. At a certain point, you gotta accept you'll get dosed and the purity of your blood is in GOD's hands, or some shit, I don't know. So these shrinks in fact stop GOD from getting into their wards, only prison with no Bibles, you can't go to mass on Sunday or even think of doing so, what else...no they let you pray, they don't fuck with that...what else...dude check your mouth and ask you to stick out your tongue to prove you swallowed, that says it all. And that pill, clozapine, diminished thought, made time go by faster, starved the brain to feed the body fat, people's weight doubled on that shit, disgusting. Automatic obesity. But there was consent! Signature, you consented to this once, that's what you have to swallow every night!

So obviously if Abbott tries to poison me again, like I'm going to read the brand name, dude get real, woafs (wastes of a fuck) will poison you until they get shut down...or until they get told "your company is imprisoned, all your staff have to work out of a prison every day under surveillance, cavity search daily, no quitting no hiring, it's forced labor like ordinary prison, you go home at night, that's what you get, anybody who didn't denounce it". The real corporate jail penalty.

Only survivor in the rehab. Only one who didn't gain 40 pounds. The alpha.

EDIT: downvotes are upvotes. So what I say sounds like paranoid or whatever but yeah duh that's how I didn't get fat. Only the paranoid survive? Only the paranoid stay skinny.
