Perhaps this is the reason MC from compliance recently left the company. Maybe he knew this indictment was wbout to happen and he did not want to have any part of it? MC is a good person and I could see this being something he would not want to have to try and defend. Especially when he was not part of the company when this all occurred.

So very strange that ST, RS, and the rest of senior management stay on and do not resign in shame before it gets worse. In most companies they put people out to pasture when crap like this happens to protect the stock price.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday announced the indictment of Indivior Plc and a subsidiary on charges they engaged in an illegal scheme to boost prescriptions of the film version of its opioid addiction treatment Suboxone.

An indictment filed in federal court in Abingdon, Virginia, alleged Indivior made billions of dollars by deceiving doctors and health care benefit programs into believing the film version of Suboxone was safer and less susceptible to abuse than similar drugs.

The case marked the first time the Justice Department had brought criminal charges against a publicly traded drugmaker related to the U.S. opioid addiction epidemic, which has killed tens of thousands of people each year.

The indictment charged Indivior and its subsidiary Indivior Inc with conspiracy, health care fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud.

Slough, England-based Indivior in a statement said it was “extremely disappointed” by the department’s decision to charge it. Indivior called the indictment “wholly unsupported by either the facts or the law.”

Prior to the indictment, Indivior had been in settlement talks with the department. It had set aside $438 million to cover legal matters, most of which related to the probe.

“The department has apparently decided it would rather pursue self-serving headlines on a matter of national significance than achieve an appropriate resolution,” Indivior said.

Suboxone film is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved opioid used by people recovering from opioid dependency. The indictment said Indivior’s scheme led to thousands of opioid-addicted patients using the film version.

The indictment said the scheme began when Indivior Inc was owned by Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC. The indictment referred to Reckitt, which spun out Indivior in 2014, as “Company A.”

Reckitt, which was not charged, did not respond to a request for comment.

The indictment said Indivior Inc developed the film version of Suboxone as a period of marketing exclusivity granted by the FDA for the tablet form of the drug was coming to an end, opening it up to generic competition.

The indictment said Indivior, then called Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc, promoted the film version as safer and less able to be diverted for improper purposes than its tablet form despite a lack of scientific evidence supporting those claims.

The department said Indivior also sought to boost profits using a program called “Here to Help” that connected patients addicted to opioids to doctors Indivior knew were prescribing painkillers at high rates and in “suspect” circumstances.

The case is U.S. v. Indivior Inc, et al, U.S. District Court, Western District of Virginia, No. 19-cr-00016.

Just curious....were you born stupid and ignorant or are these skills you worked at and perfected over time? You must be one of the many senior leadership bedded during the POAs.

It’s obvious from the posts on this site people are freaking out. If your territory has been more than 20% cash you may have a legal issue.

Pain doctors create opioid epidemic with no limits on the number of patients but the doctors cleaning up the problem are limited to 100. That should go over well with a jury if any of them have addicted relatives, and everyone in southwest Virginia had an addiction the family. Brilliant!

This investor class action lawsuit is growing by the day. Also, just a reminder nearly every state in the US filed a lawsuit as well. Should we really think this company can handle all of them and come out on the other side?

Well, I had a cheeseburger last night. And it came out the other side this morning. So it’s possible
