A company that’s spent years buttering up pharmacies with kickbacks, suddenly discovers its not-so-loyal network of pharmacies pulled a fast one. The scheme? Buy Sun’s soon-to-expire drugs for pennies, let them rot, then ship the leftovers to a destruction vendor with fake paperwork claiming they were fresh, full-price stock. Sun’s refund processor obligingly cuts million-dollar checks. Total damage claimed: $10 million-plus.
That should’ve been an awkward internal audit, but Sun goes full RICO—yep, the statute written for mobsters—and sues 40-odd pharmacists, LLCs, cousins, and shell companies scattered across six states. Counts include mail/wire fraud, unjust enrichment, veil-piercing…the whole menu. Sun wants treble damages and an asset freeze, because when you’re a “victim” you deserve interest on top of the loot you already handed out.
Irony meter off the charts: the same pharmacies getting kickbacks are now branded a “cabal of serial fraudsters.” Translation: we loved your volume until you squeezed us back.
In cartel terms: the boss handed the crew free product, the crew fenced it, and now the boss is shocked—shocked!—to learn crooks might, well, keep stealing. Pass the popcorn.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. v. Autrey et al.
U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey
Civil Action No. 3:25-cv-02866 (filed Apr 18 2025)
