    Executives at GlaxoSmithKline were sent a sex tape featuring China boss Mark Reilly and his girlfriend.

    They hired a private investigator to work out who had sent the video.

    But after he probed a powerful businesswoman, the Chinese authorities cracked down on Glaxo amid allegations of fraud and bribery.

    Mr Reilly has been charged with illegally selling £90million worth of drugs.

    Actually, it makes it look like GSK was set up and someone was out to get them.

    Spin? Did you read all the articles? Someone breaks into his apartment and sets up a camera, makes a tape and then tries to bribe the company. From there you can see what happens. Tell us all how that is "spin". Oh, wait, it doesn't fit your non-stop bashing of the company.

    You are taking it as gospel that what GSK are claiming is true. Have you not learned anything over the past 20 years about this company?

    They also said Paxil was safe and effective in kids and also backed Avandia to the hilt.

    You will now be ask during the declaration of integrity prior to each assessment and simulation to agree to being bent over a chair and take it with pride. No video or tape recordings of these engagements are allowed and if you take notes these notes must be destroyed immediately following your assessment and simulation.

    Are you dense? GSK did not make the claim. People found out about it and asked GSK if the tape was true. It is no wonder sales are slow when we have morons like you in our midst.

    People found out and asked GSK if it was true?

    LOL

    Like people would bother wasting their breath on such a question.

    Reilly is facing up to 10 years in prison, Witty will probably be implicated at some point - you really think this story is soundproof? - this has been fabricated, it's the start of a very long defense.

    Again you are accepting GSK's word that the tape was true. It's just a means of saying 'We only found out about the in-house bribery a couple of months or so before the Chinese authorities intervened'. You really believe that or are you 'dense'?

    Yes, you are dense. Reading is clearly not your strong suit. It seems you also make things up as you say Witty will be implicated.

    Try reading the articles moron. Here is one simplified down to basic facts that maybe won't over-tax your brain:

    http://www.businessinsider.com/mark-reilly-gsk-sex-video-and-china-bribery-allegations-2014-6



    Did you read the following words?


    "A stunning piece of reporting in London's Sunday Times shows that Reilly and the detective may well be innocent, victims of corruption in China's security apparatus and the country's own need to demonstrate that it is doing something to fight corruption.


    Of course, you only like stories that bash GSK and like to make stuff up.

    WOW, first I'm dense then I'm a moron.

    You are now quoting a different take on the story, how long did it take you to find one that fits in with your blinkered view?

    Take off your rose tinted glasses and read between the lines.

    This "We were bribed first" is nothing but a defence to keep Reilly out of jail. Follow the trail - Emails sent to top GSK execs (including Witty) - GSK hire a private detective (without actually telling him about the bribery accusations and sex tape). - Private detective investigates who GSK believe to be the whistleblower (GSK's Head of Government Affairs, Vivian Shi) - Private detective can't find anything on her.

    GSK then tell private detective about emails and sextape - shortly after the private detective is arrested (He's still detained in China)

    Witty knew about the allegations yet decided to sanction $20,000 for Humphrey to investigate Vivian Shi (to see if she was the whistleblower)

    As head of the company he should have been more concerned about the allegations of bribery, surely $20,000 could have been spend on investigating the allegations rather than who was behind the allegations?

    After they couldn't find who the whistleblower was they decided to investigate the allegations, they found no wrong-doing - wow, that was some investigation given that the Chinese authorities found a hell of a lot of wrong-doing.

    Let's not forget Witty's reaction when this story first broke.

    "Sir Andrew Witty said bosses at the multinational pharmaceuticals company's London headquarters knew nothing of the millions of pounds in bribes allegedly being paid to doctors and health officials to boost sales and raise prices."

    Knew nothing? He was sitting on a sextape and emails accusing his company of bribery, yet, he 'knew nothing.

    Are you following this or do you want me to draw pictures?

    Let's see you come up with an article that says otherwise. Secondly, the allegations came AFTER the sex tape bribery. Of course, the negative company spin is your JOB. You are always wearing the sh*t covered glasses because that is how you operate.

    No they didn't - Emails with allegations of bribery were sent first, then the sextape was attached to an email.

    If you researched the story you'd know this. Then again asking a GSK employee to research any negative info about their company would be a tall order. Isn't that the GSK mantra? Get your head out of the sand and Witty's ass.
